This is a fast moving political thriller with a good plot. Thecharacters are somewhat two dimensional, but, all in all, not bad.What ruined it for me was the horrible editing. Maybe it wasn't edited at all, though, because I counted at least 10 errors in grammar, punctuation and fact in the first 100 pages. The book was evidently self published, because an Amazon quote from the publisher gives her name as the person to whom the author dedicates the book, his "life partner". I do not object to self publishing, but I do object to the distracting and extremely unprofessional product and feel cheated at having spent money on this level of writing. END

The book is a quick read, with an interesting plot. The ending was a little predictable, though. I personally know this author and am impressed with his work. I hope there are more novels in the works.

This well- written books grabs you from the start and won't let go. It's provocative and unsettling at the same time. Intentionally so. If Mr. Gerhardt sets out to challenge you to think about the ramifications of your fondest wishes - he succeeds. Does the end justify the means? You'll find yourself 'this' close to saying 'yes' until you shake yourself from your reveries. This book will not be easily forgotten. One can only wait for the movie version, which in the right hands would be a powerful film. Just a great 'what-if'. A Political thriller of the highest calibre. Read it!
