Historical Fiction Virtual Blog Tours Presents…
Burton Blake
By Robert Tucker
In this sequel to The
Revolutionist, the American journey of three generations locks the neophyte
company president, Burton Blake, in a vicious struggle with corporate intrigue,
financial greed, and social corruption.
Born to a taxi dancer at the beginning of the Second
World War, Burton’s father, Elias Blake, never knows his natural father, who is
killed in the South Pacific. He is raised by his mother and stepfather from her
second marriage who makes his fortune during the post war real estate boom of
the 50’s. Their untimely death by his business partner leaves the boy Elias in
the guardianship of his mother’s best friend and her marine vet husband who
introduces him to the macho culture of guns and hunting.
Elias’s youth is influenced by the adult world’s drive
for personal material gain. Over the next decades, he expands his parents’
original real estate empire into the diversified multi-divisional,
multi-national corporation that he leaves to his son, Burton.
Upon his forced return from traveling and working with oppressed third world
people, Burton learns increasingly more about the true nature of his deceased
father as he undertakes the challenges of leading the company in a new
direction.
