"If you ask me, political power is a sewer system. Without one, society can't function. But the stench from it clings to everything it touches. No one wants to get near it."

What a great line. I hope I can remember it in the future.

I enjoyed reading this book just like the others, but it does leave me feeling sad reading about the the death of a democratic nation. Even a fictional one.

The best of the series yet. Always poignant.

A great volume, interestingly, I did not predict how the battle would end with the winner losing and loser winning. The commentary on democracy vs dictatorship was good.
