Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews Money is like good health. You can't have too much of it,"" says Kosmas Bourlotas, Greek shipping magnate and sometime godfather of a clutch of tycoons. When Kosmas loses his fortune, his prestige dips heavily until he makes a killing in Japanese-built oil tankers. This dynastic novel beginning in the small Greek town of Chios in 1820, inevitably develops into today's headlines (reminscent of Livanos, Niarchos and Onassis.) Gage's sense of the shipping world raises it somewhat above lurid melodrama--there's a palpable absence of submachine guns. The whole crew's family feelings run deep, especially about sons, and passing on the business, and the eagle spirit of MONEY. The irony is that the last surviving male heir of the Bourlotas wants to become a celibate monk. But when Kosmas comes down with Hodgkin's Disease, his son gives up his cave on Mount Athos to take over the firm and do well with it until his father recovers--and the son suddenly dies of the same (nonhereditary) illness. God's Hand? Perhaps not--but memorable chicanery without a draggy moment.

The love affair of Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis scandalized and fascinated the world from the moment it began in 1959 during a cruise on the fabled yacht Christina. In the decades since, dozens of books have been written about the incandescent diva who transformed opera and the Promethean tycoon who revolutionized international shipping, but none has focused on the tempestuous relationship between them, which is widely thought to have collapsed following Onassis' celebrated marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968. Now, Nicholas Gage, author of the acclaimed international best-seller Eleni and a former investigative reporter for the New York Times, gives us the first and only full account of this fateful romance, presenting startling new information he has uncovered. Gage was able to persuade the couple's associates, relatives, and close friends--some of whom had never spoken before--to share their most intimate recollections. He also gained access to some of Callas' most private papers, which provide an utterly new view of her personal life. His narrative shows us that the Callas and Onassis relationship, far from being a passing dalliance, was in fact the deepest and longest-lasting emotional commitment either of them ever knew. Gage meticulously reconstructs the events leading to the affair, from Callas and Onassis' first meeting at a masked ball in Venice in 1957 to the tycoon's pursuit of her throughout Europe, culminating in the 1959 cruise. It was during this three-week summer holiday, hosted by Onassis and his wife, Tina, that Aristotle and Maria's daily encounters ignited passions before the alarmed eyes of the crew and other illustrious guests, including Sir Winston and Lady Churchill. We follow the couple through the ensuing press hysteria and the rancor of their shattered marriages; the days of bliss and battles on the island hideaway of Skorpios; the agonizing deterioration of Callas' voice; and the strange covert courtship Onassis conducted prior to his marriage to the widow of the American president, a surprise that stunned the world once again and nearly destroyed Callas. Within days of his marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy, Onassis was back at Maria's door. Although they were never to marry, the relationship between the tycoon and the diva, Gage reveals, would continue and deepen, through tragedies and trials, until the end of their lives. Penetrating the mass of published misinformation concerning his subjects, Nicholas Gage gives us the most reliable account ever of these legendary figures, a brilliant dual biography of two icons of the golden age of glamour. Greek Fire is an operatic spectacle of desire and loss, certain to transform our understanding of some of the most compelling personalities ever to capture our imagination.
