Woody plays a born loser who wakes after 200 years to find himself in a future ruled by a mysterious "Leader" (who looks vaguely like Robert LeFevre), and gets co-opted by an underground group trying to overthrow the government; at the end, he tells the heroine that "political solutions don't work," and says that if the rebels succeed, it would be necessary to overthrow their leader in six months.

The fifth novel in Allen Drury's Advise and Consent series is out, and in the introduction, he reveals that the sixth is not a sequel,but an alternate ending to the series. Inthis one, the bad guys win, and if you canput up with Drury's fairly heavy-handed propagandizing, it's not a bad novel, andnot unfrightening. To get the most out of it, read the earlier books in the series first. | The fifth novel in Allen Drury's Advise and Consent series is out, and in the introduction, he reveals that the sixth is not a sequel,but an alternate ending to the series.
