Power Play is a timely thrill ride by Ben Bova, one of science fiction’s most respected novelists, and a six-time Hugo Award winner.

Astronomer Jake Ross wants nothing more than to teach a few university classes each semester and continue his research. However, Frank Tomlinson, an ambitious politician with his eye on the U.S. senate, is determined to land Dr. Ross as his science advisor.

However, Dr. Ross soon discovers that the world of politics carries its own dangers. Nothing has prepared Dr. Ross for
the extreme tactics that desperate and powerful people are willing to use.

"Unpredictable at every turn, [Power Play] is sexy, intriguing and timely." - Booklist
