Well, well, well.....the big bad Russians are back. At least some of them are. And they are mad because Ronald Reagan along with the Pope was instrumental in causing the fall of the erstwhile USSR. The suitcase-sized nukes are ready to be deployed on American soil. At 12 noon on 20th January.
Okay, now if you will pick yourself (or your jaw!) off the floor, let me tell you that the author has woven reality and fantasy in such a fantastic manner in this novel that I had to turn to the internet to separate the fact from the fiction. Don't believe me? Take your pick from the loopholes in the presidential succession act, the US invasion plans for Canada, the burning of the White House by the Brits, an organization called the Society Of Cincinnati, a secret passageway from the White House and the meetings between Reagan and the Pope. The plot thickens to the consistency of a British fog! And it is a delight to wade through it with Cotton Malone, Cassiopeia Witt and Stephanie Nelle.
I can't help but mention that the villain's name Aleksandr comes as a breath of fresh air. I was getting tired of hearing about Viktor, Ivan, Yuri, Sasha and of course, Vladimir. :-)
P. S. Wonder it this novel ever made it to the reading list of the current POTUS. :-)
