The Young Tycoons
by Christopher Johnson
They had money, sex and power, but it just wasn't enough!
More money, more power, more action than they had ever dreamed of.
And they were still so young.
So what do they get into? Fast cars? Fast women? Or a fast new billion?
And what if they lost it insteadÂ…
From Christopher Johnson, the author of The Dog Logs, Backpacker! and Barnesy, The Harbour and You, comes a scathing, sweeping, cynical – but always hilarious – comedy about sex, money, lies, money, treachery, backstabbing, ruthlessness, money, money, money – and even a bit of true love.
Topical - even scandalous – this outrageous satire follows media tycoons, both young and old, journos, models, lifestyle TV hosts, businessmen and one poor publicist in their ugly, ruthless pursuit of filthy lucre, power, respect, opportunity… and love.
Trevor and Kim are two young men on the verge of being handed more wealth, power and prestige than is commonly imaginable – but can they handle it?
Or is there truth in the old adage: The first generation acquires it; the second generation builds itÂ… and the third generation f**ks it up?
Fortunes are risked, secrets are exposed, unspeakable acts are performed
and lives are ruinedÂ…
Ethics? Loyalty? They never stood a chance.
Greed is the new Black.
Two-time AFI Award Winner Peter Kowitz leads a brilliant cast including Michael Cullen, Jonathan Gavin, Nicholas Hammond, Christopher Johnson, Rebekah Moore, Ashlie Pellow, David Ritchie and Zoe Tuckwell-Smith in a satire that is epic in scope, brutal in nature, very, very funny – and sooooo Sydney.
