51st State (Plus) - Softcover
Prime Minister Rupert Warner has taken Great Britain out of Europe, spurred on by a sentimental death-bed conversation with his father, a veteran of the Falklands. The consequences are dire - until an unexpected offer comes from one of Britain's oldallies. Peter Preston's debut novel is a brilliant political satire: funny, sexy and with just the right amount of plausibility! "The pace is swift, the prose jaunty,the narrative not wholly predictable, the sex raunchy and eclectic. The book can be recommended without hesitation for airline and holiday reading" Godfrey Hodgson, Independent
