The author's uncle years and years ago did me a great service and was a wonderful friend. (His father, was the secretary of state under Regan but I knew from previous books that Brian Haig is more of his uncle than his father.) And I did like it. The characters were interesting and true. The plot was actually pretty fascinating. I thought I had it figured out most of the way and was totally wrong. There was a pretty draggy part in the middle - hence 4 stars instead of 5 - but the beginning and the ending were great. Jack Wiley brings a great deal to the Capitol Group, a company that takes over smaller companies and revamps them. Jack knows of a company that makes a miracle polymer and wants the Capitol Group to become partners with him to obtain the company. Lots of twists and turns and dirty dealings ensue. There is a big twist which I saw coming from very early int he book so not much of a thriller for me. OK, Brian. You've now written two novels that don't involve Sean Drummond. And they were pretty good. But I hope you've gotten them out of your system and come up with another great story involving the intrepid JAG lawyer. It's a good thing I don't read the dust covers of authors I know I like. Because had I known "The Capitol Game" was all about corporate takeovers and military procurements, I might not have read it. But this was a pretty good tale that kept you wondering where the connections were, who was telling the truth, and who was screwing over who. Much of the novel revolves around what is probably the all-to-accurate ways Washington works. And that's terrifying. It's not like Brian's making this up. His father, after all, was Alexander Haig, Sec. State under Reagan and White House COS for Nixon and Ford. So I imagine Brian's heard a few stories. I don't think I've read a Brian Haig book I've disliked. But the Sean Drummond books are much more enjoyable. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

How this capital group and their minions (ex Presidents, Senators, Saudi investors) get scammed and deceived makes this a fun book to read. The hero and heroine are always two steps ahead of the villains looking to stop them.
Very entertaining story. ( )
