Reseña del editor

Both a penetrating look at today's business world and a devastating assessment of corporate greed, The Dinosaur Club is a compelling novel and a hilarious page-turner. Within days, Jack Fallon learns that his wife of twenty-four years is dumping him and that the only company he's ever worked for is about to do the same. The head honchos at Waters Cable have decided to implement a "workforce imbalance correction, " which includes canning Jack and his coworkers, all of whom are in the 50/50 class - at least fifty years old and making $50,000 or more. As the head of sales, Fallon oversees an unlikely band of overweight, middle-aged executives, all terrified that the lives they struggled to build are about to be destroyed. But instead of accepting their fate, Fallon and the other "dinosaurs" join forces and fight back. Dubbing themselves "The Dinosaur Club, " Fallon and his cohorts vow to defy managements intent to drive them out. Through a series of clandestine maneuvers, corporate intrigue, and good old-fashioned office politics, the Dinosaur Club begins to turn the tables. Fallon's secret weapon is the beautiful young attorney Samantha Moore, who works for the opposition but also happens to be falling in love with him. Together they take direct aim at the company and at the Young Turks who run it - the "bright young men" who would send all the so-called dinosaurs to the financial trash heap.
