Overload

From Airport to Hotel and from In High Places to Wheels, Arthur Hailey's incisive thrillers, set at the heart of the great institutions of the modern world, are unmatched for authenticity, power and human drama. In Overload we enter the high-tech, high-tension environment of the power industry. Nim Goldman is Vice President of Golden State Power & Light, the giant corporation supplying electricity to the power hungry state of California. He's a man with a big job and all the women he can handle, but he knows the crunch is coming. Soon, very soon, power famine will strike the most advanced society the world has ever known… '3,200,000 kilowatts, OPEC terrorists, power thieves, dwindling energy reserves, hypocrisy and paralysis in high places, darkness and chaos for power-guzzling California…Hailey hits with another blockbuster' Observer.
