Things are not going well for the President of the United States. He wants Americans to be adored by freedom-loving people everywhere. Instead, half the planet seems to be in permanent insurrection against U.S. power. What's more, there's a growing environmental crisis that even he can't ignore. His advisers warn him he could be remembered as the President who wrecked the planet. That's not exactly the historical legacy he's longed for.
At a secret meeting in the Oval Office, the President is persuaded of one simple fact: there are too many people in the world. Eventually, even the United States will become the victim of a polluted plant running out of resources. Only radical action, say his advisers, can deal with the problem. The solution they propose is frighteningly audacious and breathtakingly ruthless. The President, torn between fascination and revulsion, hesitates. But as more eco-disasters hit America, powerful forces within the White House insist that it is time to think the unthinkable. Soon, the President embarks upon a plan that will guarantee American supremacy for generations to come. Or so he believes.
Industry Reviews
"If you're getting depressed about the political huckstering on the other side of the Atlantic, you would be well advised to get yourself a copy of A Planet for the President. It won't make you less scared but at least you'll be giggling as you quake." TIME OUT 'This book is a timely and bold warning of what can happen when someone with poers begins to think the unthinkable.' EXPRESS 'Here is combined a mix of Tom Sharpe's burlesque and the didactic thrust of Ben Elton.' -- Simon Parke CHURCH TIMES
