The first few (of many) chapters are pretty good. A debate between the President and the Speaker of the House. The President, of course, is the good guy, but it makes you realize the conflicts inherent in his job. Thereafter, the story degenerates into a long "if I told you I'd have to kill you" interspersed with "it's technical. If I told you, you wouldn't understand" Over all, the characters were too wooden to develop, and the premise too outlandish to sustain my interest.
