In the early twentieth century pulp fiction was published only in paperback. Here, at the approach of the millenium, is the heir to that tradition: a sensational, plot-driven novel of sex and power communicated largely in dialogue. It takes a while to hit its stride as the characters' back story is established before launching into the presidential campaign of a fresh new soap opera politician.

A bonkbuster of note written by a former male model: could be good but, unfortunately, just isn't.
