The filmmaker-poet of Jamaican reality, Perry Henzell, has written Power Game, the definitive insider novel of Caribbean politics. Against a background of music, sex, and gang war, the contestants of Power Game keep their eye on the bottom line: the price of oil, the price of ganja, the price of bauxite. It is by manipulating these prices that the destinies of the many are decided by a handful of players:. Mike Bernard controls the army. Winston Bernard controls the banks. Michelle controls the media. Zack controls the streets. Each believes that when push comes to shove, he, or she, will devour the others.
