It is a spy story with a difference, told through the careers of two strong women politicians, one a passionate idealist, the other a passionate pragmatist, each aiming to capture the soul of tomorrow's England.

A Talented Bureaucrat
There are two central characters in this book.The bureaucrat is rather a helpless square peg, who falls into a series of round holes. Fortunately he is carried along by an extremely competent secretary.The story reminded one reader of 'the Reginald Perrin series on TV' and another thought that it would make a good sit-com.When preparing the book for Authors On Line, Wendy Anne Lake wrote of it: '...this is a jolly good story, different and highly amusing.'Certainly it is a story with a good deal of humour but it is not just a good laugh. Another reader commented, 'It's such a lovely story and so funny yet deeply serious too.'As Malcolm Sheppard said, 'If the finale is the stuff of dreams, it completes a tale that leaves us amused, happy and satisfied.'
