The spectacular bestseller from the author of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. In a time when steak, vodka, and Benzedrine were the three main staples of a healthy diet, when high-powered executives called each other '€œbaby'€ and movie stars wore wigs to bed, network tycoons had a name for the TV set: they called it '€œthe love machine.'€ But to supermodel Amanda, socialite Judith and journalist Maggie, '€œthe love machine'€ meant something else: Robin Stone, '€œa TV-network titan around whom women flutter like so many moths'€¦The novel deals with his rise and fall as he makes the international sex scene (orgying in London, transvestiting in Hamburg), drinks unlimited quantities and checks out the latest Nielsens.'€'€”Newsweek '€œI READ IT IN ONE GREEDY GULP, ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE.'€'€”Liz Smith '€œ[Susann'€™s] pulp poetry resonates to this day. WITH HER FORMULA OF SEX, DRUGS, AND SHOW BUSINESS, Susann didn'€™t so much capture the tenor of her times as she did predict the Zeitgeist of ours.'€'€”Detour
