Step aboard The Bianca, a luxurious yacht off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, for a thrilling ride filled with passion, power, and peril in Jackie Collins' New York Times bestseller, The Power Trip.
When billionaire Russian oligarch Aleksandr Kasianenko invites five power couples for a tropical getaway on his yacht, named after his supermodel girlfriend, the stage is set for a voyage of decadence and intrigue. Among the guests are a driven senator and his unhappy wife, a charming movie star with his ex-waitress girlfriend, a famous black UK footballer and his interior designer wife, a Latin singing sensation with his English boyfriend, and a maverick journalist with his female friend.
But the dream vacation turns treacherous as Sergei Zukov, a Russian mobster with a grudge against Aleksandr, sets a plot in motion involving his girlfriend's brother, a master pirate with orders to hold The Bianca and its guests for ransom.
In this gripping tale of glamour and suspense, Jackie Collins masterfully explores the lavish world of the super-rich, where danger lurks beneath the glittering surface. The Power Trip is a wild journey you won't want to miss.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Collins's latest, five couples are invited aboard Russian billionaire Aleksandr Kasianenko's yacht to celebrate the birthday of his supermodel girlfriend, Bianca. During the week away from it all, Taye Sherwin, a famous, black British footballer and his wife, Ashley, a blonde with paid-for breasts, rekindle their stalled sex life; Sierra, the self-medicated wife of a sleazy U.S. Senator Hammond Patterson Jr., asserts herself against her mercurial beast of a husband; Sierra's former lover Flynn, a renegade journalist, and his stalwart colleague Xuan, "beautiful, strong-minded, and conveniently more into women than men," don't quite fit in; sweet Latin pop sensation Luca Perez learns that his lover, Jeremy, arrogant and money hungry, wants to role-play his fetishes outside their bedroom; and movie star Cliff Baxter begins to think that Lori, his girlfriend-of-the-moment, may be a keeper. After the guests spend days lounging and dining in luxury on the Sea of Cortez, the ship is stormed by pirates, leading to a fantastical denouement. Climbing aboard with this sea of extravagant creatures, whose sexual tastes lie on the fringe of raunchy, is abashedly rousing, and what more could one hope for from Collins?
