Book Description:
Steve Lane, President of FBC TV, is being crucified by a headline hunting senator and his business associates are supplying the hammer and nails! Past successes count for nothing, friendships are forgotten, scruples are ignored, as his fellow executives cover their tracks and offer up Steve as a sacrifice to appease the government investigators. At the same time, his marriage is failing, but there is a young and nubile actress standing by hoping to replace his wife. Steve must decide whether to risk his career and buck the system, or play the game and keep his plush office. He must also settle his love life before he loses his wife forever. The solution he chooses is spectacular and suprising. 'Finally someone has written an exciting, entertaining, and educational novel about the TV industry...Its dialogue is dramatic, its storyline suspenseful, its characters compelling and its finale forceful...it has excellent chances for becoming a fabulous film if someone has the guts to produce it.' Hollywood Reporter 'A fascinating novel...Network Jungle is not a shoddy imitation of a grade B movie...Network Jungle is top rate.' Chattanooga News Free Press 'One needs...a guide through the jungles of bigtime television on Madison Avenue and to avoid the beasts therein, and it would be hard to find a better one than David Levy...a highly readable and entertaining novel...the fascination in the book lies in its insight into the corporate structure of television and advertising, the birth and death of shows.' Los Angeles Times 'Thoroughly readable and sometimes shocking, David Levy's Network Jungle ranks as a topnotch book on network television.' Syracuse Herald Journal
