Dj worn<br>In the sequel to The Betsy, twenty-five yea rs after fleeing his ex-employer, Angelo Perino forms a shaky tru ce with Loren Hardeman III and returns to Bethlehem Motors, an ac t that sets off a fierce battle of wills and power. 75,000 first printing. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Twenty-five years ago, The Betsy, Robbins's bestselling novel about the auto industry, marked the beginning of the author's glory years as the king of commercial fiction. After the success of such titles as The Lonely Lady and Dreams Die First, a subsequent string of tire d potboilers (The Piranhas, etc.) saw Robbins's sales skid. Now, in an energetic attempt to reverse that trend, the author has beg un to write sequels to his best-known books: first The Raiders, w hich followed up The Carpetbaggers, and now this robust son of Th e Betsy, which mimics all the personal vendettas, steamy sex and complex plotting?as well as cardboard characters?of the original. It's 1972, and tyrannical auto tycoon Loren Hardeman has just fi red the brilliant Italian-American racecar driver and auto design er, Angelo Perino, despite the fact that Angelo saved the company from being taken over by Hardeman's sinister grandson, Loren III . In revenge for Angelo's interference, Loren III has had the man beaten almost to death by thugs. Now the recuperating Angelo mar ries the bisexual Cindy, a test driver-turned-art dealer, and vow s to even the score by taking the business away from the ruthless Hardemans. The international art world, the Japanese impact on t he auto industry and a blood feud provide a fascinating global we b of subplots in bedchambers and boardrooms as Robbins spins his lascivious, melodramatic tale. While this novel may not be the po werhouse The Betsy was, it has wheels and is a worthy successor. Doubleday Book Club alternate selection. Copyright 1995 Reed Bus iness Information, Inc. From Library Journal Perennial best sell er Robbins gallups up with a sequel to The Betsy. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Last year Robbins subjected us to The Raiders (1994), his sequel (30 years later) t o The Carpetbaggers. Now we have the sequel to another of his ear lier novels, The Betsy, which, like The Carpetbaggers, was made i nto a popular movie with an impressive cast: Laurence Olivier, Ro bert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Katharine Ross, and Jane Alexander. Okay, but what about the book? Ah, the book. Well, The Betsy was about the ruthless competition between the Hardeman family, owne rs of Bethlehem Motors, and the studly race-car driver Angelo Per ino. Hardeman senior welcomed Perino into the family business, bu t his son and grandson resented Perino and drove him out, beating him up badly in the process. Now, after some extensive plastic s urgery, Perino's back. He ends up developing a new car for the co mpany, called, what else, the Stallion (as in Italian); he also m anages to bed all the Hardeman women. And what a bunch they are. No boy toys here, these gals know exactly what they want and how to get it. When they aren't having sex with the indefatigable Ang elo, whose sweet bisexual wife pops out a new baby every year, th ey're wheeling and dealing. Robbins does interject some interesti ng bits about the car industry during the 1970s gas scare, when t he Japanese first edged into the American market, but basically h e just doles out sex scenes, each more ludicrous and, frankly, bo ring, than the next. Donna Seaman Review It's recommended that r eaders enjoy this novel's predecessor The Betsy in order to gain the full flavor of this sequel, which continues the story of the links between the Perino and Hardeman families. Here increasing c onnections and interdependence between the two families have resu lted in a savage beating which reinforces the uneasiness of the t ruce achieved by marriage. Struggles between powerful family memb ers involve all in this tense drama of change. -- Midwest Book Re view ., Simon & Schuster, 1996, 2.5, Bay Books. Perfect Paperback. GOOD.
