As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence. Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"). ............They teach prudence, stealth, mastery of one's emotions, the art of deception, and the total absence of mercy.

I bugged out of here for a couple of hundred pages and missed AP posting to Maytee. Was he threatening her?
