Tempted to leave this without comments. I really wonder if the senators and the representatives in the congress ever look at this and question the surreal nature of our situation. Is there any country’s head of state that chooses to believe a foreign power (especially an aggressive and ambitious one) over the country’s own intelligence?

This is a fun book.
You can guess the premise based on the name of the book especially if you familiar with the word’s origin with Star Trek.
You have to take on faith some of the plot development and it’s never clearly explained why this happened. Trust the narrative!
Thumbs up!
