Nimrod's Tower

Nimrod's Toweraf Alan Thompson
Bag om Nimrod's Tower

War has been declared in the United States of America. A second revolution, waged by politicians rather than armies, is underway. Touched off by the death of the president - did he die of liver disease or was he assassinated? - partisan factions have squared off to determine who owns the country, and the coming election promises to be bitter and hard-fought. Tommy Sawyer, now a reluctant "journalist" in the nation's capital, finds himself in the middle of the fight. Increasingly skeptical of his new profession and its impact on the life of the country, he is caught between two powerful women who use a corrupt press to bring class and racial tensions to the boiling point. Their rivalry transforms the nation and takes it to the edge of anarchy. In the tradition of The Last Hurrah and Advise and Consent, Nimrod's Tower perfectly captures the zeitgeist of our times, a sobering parable of politics run amuck.
