Description

Continuing the phenomenal story in "The Betsy," "The Stallion" reintroduces the Hardeman family and the cutthroat world of their vast automobile empire, where the stakes are high and every man, and woman, is a gambler. Loren Hardeman, known as "Number One," is gradually transferring control of Bethlehem Motors to his grandson, Loren Hardeman III--a man possessed with his father's cunning, but sadly lacking in his ability to go for the kill. So when Angelo Perino, an outsider previously show more nurtured by Number One, threatens the position held by Hardeman III, what ensues is a battle of wills in which integrity takes a backseat to animal instinct, and in which there can only be one winner. Bursting with huge ingredients of lust, greed, sex, and intrigue--and a plot full of twists and double-crosses--this is Harold Robbins at his sizzling best. show less

Angelo Perino é um jovem piloto de corridas cuja audácia nas pistas só é igualada pela sede de mulheres. É ele o narrador do conflito de poder entre o autoritário e libertino Loren Hardeman I, magnata do automobilismo, e seu neto, herdeiro das mesmas disposições. Uma trama cheia de carros, ação e sexo.
