From Publishers Weekly Publicrelations jargon and flat prose generally make this first novel about the lives of globetrotting reporters and business execs as exciting as a company boardroom meeting. The story revolves around Laurie, a footloose Australian journalist for a Singapore business magazine who becomes emotionally involved with a top computer salesman and is drawn into his circle of business colleagues. Later, Laurie accepts a job at his rapidly growing computer company, Orion Management Systems, and trails him from the office to his rented flat, trying to get the evasive salesman to commit to her. In the end, though, readers don't much care about the pair's plight or those of the corporate types they work for, because all are equally twodimensional. Nayman ignores the emotional possibilities of characters this world destroysLaurie's friend Susan, for instance, a former reporter who is institutionalized. Nor does she devote much attention to the motivation of Laurie herself, who jokes a lot and says things such as Marketing strategy. Recommendations therein. Approval necessary. Discussion required.'' Most of this largely superficial book reads this way. Copyright 1995 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Product Description Hong Kong harbour at dusk, October 1982: Laurie Michaels, a 26yearold journalist, has left her husband, her home and her job in Australia, for a new beginning as a business reporter in Asia.When Adam Sarris offers her a job with Orion Management Systems, a fast growing computer company, she throws herself into a life played out in offices, hotel rooms and airports.Laurie at first embraces the values of the boom. But, as Orion begins to play for higher and perhaps dubious stakes, Laurie is forced to confront what it means to be a woman in a man's world amid questions of ethics, loyalty and identity. The jetlag is more than physical.
