Award-winning writer Ben Bova returns with another tense political thriller starring Jake Ross, science advisor to Senator Frank Tomlinson, as they continue their complex power maneuvers they began in Power Play and Power Surge.

Dr. Jake Ross came to Washington to try to make a difference, but he's learned the only way to get something done in Washington, assuming your ideals survive the corrosive atmosphere, is to gather power. Ross has gathered a great deal riding in the wake of Frank Tomlinson. But now Tomlinson has decided to shoot for the moon. If they win, they get it all. If they lose, the game is over for Jake Ross.

The Power trilogy combines the political thriller with nuts-and-bolts near-future science fiction. Bova's vision of a future powered by solar satellite transmission is tantalizingly within reach.

I do enjoy these stories but find it hard to believe in republicans supporting enlightened energy policies and even believing in climate change. Why would Mr Bova use republicans as characters in a story that seem more akin to Democratic Party issues?

Was Ben Bova A republican?

Clearly sets the stage for the next installment. Well written and well performed. I look forward to listening and recommend others do as well.

Awesome political intrigue

I'm disappointed that the publisher allowed the author to use his characters to equate homosexuals with pedophiles. a male character was raping a male child and the main characters described it as homosexuality. and they didn't report it to authorities.
