A political novel that parodies recent Slovak history behind thinly veiled names. In the young Slovak Republic the prime minister, a despotic tyrant, persecutes the hapless president, who freezes in his Grassalkovich Palace because the heating has been cut off to save money, and the secret services in the premier's hands kidnap the president's son. The son is then kidnapped again by someone else, the president's daughter is abducted too, and the president is interned and freed, as ever more characters, twists and futuristic weapons tested by the Pentagon join a plot in which the interests of the whole world converge.
