" A rookie agent has to stop the assassination of the President. So this book wasn't bad so much as ridiculous. It was written a long time ago about the future 43rd president, then updated and published again after there had been a real 43rd president. I really think I might have liked it had I read it in 1977 or something. But it was just surreal, and not in a good way, to read someone's vision of the 2000s. He got to first female president, but didn't quite think of the internet. So the hero is just doing all his research at the library with a stack of quarters from a pay phone. On an unrelated note, even if the technology had been updated, I just really got angry at the hero's passionate love for the heroine aka a possible accomplice of the assassin. The deal was that they met and he just fell too head over heels and believed so much in love and his right to love that he couldn't stay away from her for the 6 days to the presumptive assassination. I wonder if it's annoying to me because it really is annoying or because in the post-2001 world nothing like that seems believable (just like pay phones). "
