This sounded like a book I would enjoy way more than I actually did. It had some redeeming moments, but overall it felt more like a ridiculous caricature than a quality political intrigue and action story. It paled by comparison to Orson Scott Card's phenomenal novels, Empire and Hidden Empire, and it just didn't work for me on the less serious level like the more tongue in cheek Remo Williams stories from The Destroyer series.
