The Zero Game started off with an interesting premise where various congressional staffers were playing a game that involved making policy decisions for financial game. Stick a program in a bill here... bet on the amount of yay and nay votes there.
The book then got incredibly obvious when you could see where Meltzer was going with it.
One of the items that the hero was bidding on was put in by some very bad people. That's right... bad people...and the book took off on another 350 pages of non-stop running and chasing and discovering the truth.
I was mildly surprised when Meltzer half way through the book decided to switch protagonists by killing off one of the major heroes on the early side...
Good enough book for the plane ride back from San Antonio... and good enough for your no nonsense reading...
