Query: Yick.

I had been a casual fan of Brown's work until I paid money for this monstrosity. The plot is dull- a lame rehash of the countless "rise of the old USSR" that have flooded the genre since the events of 1991. The characters are weak, and the plot twists are weaker. Worst of all is Brown's disgusting Clinton-bashing, so naked in its hostility that it makes Brown look foolish and petty. Maybe Brown should have spent less time whining about Clinton than writing a better story. Better yet- he could give me my money back.
