Description:
Imagine a President Aquino clone visiting a President Reagan type to
obtain a huge loan in return for a U.S. air base near China. Then
imagine that they fall in love and that (horrors!) she is kidnapped by
her defense minister. Further, imagine that the Reagan character
launches, in person, the search for his new true love. Add in a few
peripheral characters who provide various services and the sex interest.
What you get is the 18th novel by a best-selling author whose loyal
fans may have to dig pretty deep to find reasons to admire this weary
story. For summer reading, this brief, slick concoction chugs along
reliably, revealing a plot linked to the current news. If the dialogue
is a little homogenized or the development too mechanical, fans will
still get a dose of Wallace-style fantasy.
