"Get ready for the most exciting local race ever to hit a Canadian federal election! In one lane we have the incumbent Angus McLintock, the crusty old engineering Prof. who won the seat by a fluke and who has since shaken up Ottawa politics with his outspoken integrity. Lined up against him is "Flamethrower" Fox, the Conservative who practically invented low-road politics, and two others. And along for the ride - reluctantly - is Angus's Executive Assistant, Daniel Addison. For Daniel (supported by the lovely Lindsay) the campaign involves triumphs, disasters, home-baked cookie missiles, canvassing by hovercraft, and a thrilling election that catches the world's attention. It even brings the visiting U.S. President and First Lady to Angus's riverside door. All this - and chess, and love, and sub-zero male nudity - not to mention a collapsing bridge that shakes government and puts Angus in the spotlight. Hold on for the ride!"--Back cover.
