Continent's Edge

(1980)
A novel by

 
 
A whopping tale about a California ranching family (1923 to 1940) who are already rich but become crazy rich when one of the sons discovers oil - giving them a money printing machine they can use any way they like - which they proceed to do and then some. The oil business and endless stockholders meetings, horse racing, show business, movie stars, art, politics, oh yes, sex - that about covers it.
Sometimes hitting it just right, but mostly going on too long and meandering too far, Busch opted for more when he should have aimed for less.
