Review Summaries
"This is the story of war hero Hope Hubris running for president of Jupiter. The book details his political life, his rise from senator and governor to his race to the presidency. Unfortunately, for much of the story he's held a prisoner and has his memory erased, so he spends some time trying to figure out what's happening."
Steve, Resident Piers Anthony Scholar
