Publisher's Summary:
A spookily prescient espionage thriller from one of the masters of the genre, first published in 1980.
What if the Soviet Union gained control over the US presidency? SIS agent James Mackay fears that this may already be happening when he realises the newly elected president's press secretary is a former Communist radical with links to the KGB.
When the witnesses who support his suspicions are systematically eliminated, MacKay must race against time to prove that the President-Elect is not his own man before Inauguration Day and avoid a national catastrophe.
Critic Reviews:
"When I say Ted Allbeury knows where the bodies are buried I mean it literally." (Len Deighton, author of The Ipcress File)
Members Reviews:
Past Its Prime?
This novel, written in the 1980s, has become "timely" again with all the curiosity about our current president's links to the Russians. It's an interesting tale that must have seemed really farfetched when written, but now is a good quick read and not much more. It's quirky to find Allbeury's American characters dialoguing in British English.
Could Russia really get a US President elected?
A gripping and prescient thriller, written by the ex head of the M16 Moscow desk. Required reading for those living through the alternative reality of January 2017...
Five Stars
Excellent, timely spy novel
Good Read
The book was recommended by a friend, but I was leery abut the premise. My mistake, this is a good read! With only a few weeks to go,before the Inauguration of the fictitious US President Elect, time is of the essence to prove or disprove his Russian connection. Information has come to the attention of the powers that be, that the President Elect may actually be a Soviet puppet!
The story is a fast paced, action adventure which keeps you turning the pages as fast as you can! If you love espionage and adventure, this is the book for you!
True or Fiction?
