On the Brink - by Michael A Sisti (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

If you love John Grisham's corporate thrillers or the character-driven tension of Mad Men, the Dave Powers Series is a must-read

Chaos. Mayhem. Survival.

​​​​​​​

From a Manhattan schoolyard to the wild Adirondack Mountains-and into the alcohol-soaked halls of 1960s New York advertising-Dave Powers's journey is anything but ordinary.

After surviving horrific tragedies that leave him orphaned, Dave returns to New York determined to build a future. His creative eye lands him a spot at one of the city's hottest ad agencies during the Mad Men era, where brilliance collides with nepotism, backroom deals, and male-dominated excess.

But when Dave falls in love with his enigmatic boss-one of the few women in the executive ranks-it's a dangerous gamble that could destroy both his career and his fragile grip on self-worth.

Will the weight of his past crush his ambition? Or can this untested young man rise above betrayal and heartbreak to carve out his place in the world?

Based on true events, On the Brink is a gripping blend of raw emotion, sharp wit, and page-turning suspense

Praise for On the Brink

"The work is more than one of literature; it is an in-the-weeds look at keeping one's sanity in a world where alcoholism, exploitation of women and the 'one mistake and you are gone' culture are a reality. The book is a work of triumph over human adversity and is not for the literary faint-hearted."

-Steve Levi, Alaskan historian and author of 80 books

"On the Brink pulls you in quickly with surprising twists and turns. The writing, especially the dialog, is exceptional. I highly recommend indulging in this fantastic story, written by an author who is a master of his craft."

-Lizzy Wright, Author
