It's easy to find fault with many aspects of the book: weakness of plot, weakness of character development, irrelevant plot devices. It's easy to fault the book, but, wonder of wonders, it all adds up to a good thriller with a decent romantic relationship which somehow gets woven into the thriller compound. After a doubtful beginning, I found myself increasingly involved with the (unbelievable) story and concerned with the fate of the hero, a sort of  Park Ranger working for the State of Minnesota. While political  parties and elections play a role, I don't think the fact that actual party identities are used, should bother supporters of either major party. It's clearly all part of the fantasy conspiratorial component and very apolitical in the way it is used in the story.If you can plunge ahead despite the faults, I believe you will find yourself rewarded with a nice suspenseful last half of the book, and a hero and lady in distress who are less than perfect but ultimately sympathetic characters.
