A short description--
In the U.S. after Iraq, the economy has slumped and the
country reels with unrest.
Ed Grendil, weathy after having
developed a spy chip,
advocates a reform party whose
platform is to give health
and catastrophic care to all.
With him as presidential
candidate, the party becomes
wildly successful. His
son Carl, indolent photographer of
decaying buildings, is lured
into a secretive military
organization spearheaded by
Ed's former colleague, the
mentally unstable Robert
Sikes. Using "neurobots," its
members are sworn to
destroy presumed enemies or die.
Sparked by Sikes's attraction
to Ed's wife Lyn, the entire
family is drawn into a convulsive
intrigue of politics, sex,
and death. The
book is a fast-paced thriller.
