The Power Chase: A novel by Paul Batshedi More

Lately, the little time that I get, I would rather use it to read an autobiography. Fiction is a genre that I am very fond of though, because of its entertainment value but also the escapism that it provides to the reader, especially during such challenging times as the current one that is characterised by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which dominated our lives over the last 12 months.

The Power Chase is the type of book that once you start reading, you don’t want to put down. What makes The Power Chase riveting, besides the twists and turns of the storyline, is the writer’s flair and the richness of the diction. The eloquent and elegant narration of this fast-developing story of a 30-something-year-old “young upward mobile urban professional” (yuppy), Sean White is what makes The Power Chase a captivating read. The storyline, which could easily have covered Sean’s lifetime, captures just under five years of his career as an executive in the cutthroat dog-eat-dog corporate environment in the commercial capital of the world, London.
