Review: Exciting but implausible
Rating: 3 out of 5

The book is action packed, but from the very start it abounds with plausibility. The very idea of a junior Marine being sent in directly by the Commandant, under cover, to be the tutor, bodyguard, and substitute parent of an adolescent Emperor-to-Be defies belief. Given that, and a few other strange basics, the book is fun and imaginative. Using a Malthusian concept of what may happen if we keep breeding, Mr. Nuttalldivines one way it might fall in on itself. What happens to Belinda and the Prince makes for a good read.
