What Reviewers Are Saying
I wasn't sure what to expect from a political thriller written by a politician. But I'd expect a bit more thrills. I kept reading in the hopes that the pace would pick up and pull me into the story. But it didn't happen. Cable seems knowledgeable about Westminster, as you'd expect. But that bogs down the story at times with unnecessary exposition. And his party affiliation is clear with the negative slant given to the majority parties, who two of the naive main characters are thrust into positions in. His world is one in which everyone is corrupt or naive, which doesn't really give you anyone to root for. I suppose the naive characters are the ones you're supposed to support, but they're both bogged down with potentially personally destructive infatuations that seem to be focused on interest in captivating foreigners who happen to be connected to advancing the plot. I prefer stories with a bit more character depth and pacing. This story seems like one that is destined to be a holiday read. A way to kill some time while being utterly forgettable.
