In this novel, the author showcases his expertise in both the political arena and the ocean, crafting a hilariously suspenseful tale. Timothy Burnham, a speechwriter for the President, is content to remain in the background, lacking any desire for power—a rarity in Washington. By a twist of fate, he receives Q Clearance, granting him access to top-secret atomic documents he barely understands and must shred nightly. Initially amused by his situation, Burnham's life takes a turn when he unexpectedly becomes favored by the President. This relationship reveals hidden depths in Burnham, challenging him in ways he never anticipated. Amidst this turmoil, he encounters a charming blonde, oblivious to the fact that her interest in him may be linked to his newfound status and clearance. The narrative also introduces a determined White House cleaning lady from Bermuda, seeking a high school graduation certificate for her son, and an enigmatic caterer with a mysterious past. Alongside various members of the President's Cabinet, whose exaggerated personas reflect a striking reality, the story unfolds as a delightful spy novel. It masterfully balances the absurdities of political life with an engaging narrative that entertains while remaining grounded in truth.

Just als Journalist Burnham zum Redenschreiber des US-Präsidenten avanciert, gelangen Geheimakten auf unglaublichen Wegen in die Hände des KGB. Polit-Thriller eines Insiders, denn Benchley war selbst Ghostwriter für Präsident Johnson.
