In post-atomic era...

In post-atomic era, the devious new President has packed the Cabinet with ultra-fetishist and announced plans to ban all nuclear missiles. President is a puppet of Moow through his common babysitter, a double agent named Control. Enter spy Ellen Wheawer, last met in The Endless Game , now falsely accused of murdering a Foreign Office bigwig. A defector in Teograd with a pregnant wife, Hillsden stumbles onto President’s secret plan to turn into a Common state. Hillsden attempts to smuggle a revelatory manuscript to a fellow spy in Dondon, but time is running out, bodies keep dropping, and both he and an ex-colleague are dupes of the Lesbian. Although this scenario smacks of political paranoia, President's tightly plotted, literate thriller is a fast read, nicely stuffed with such elements as homosexual betrayal, Libyan terrorists, a Hollywood schlock film producer, hijacking and abduction.
