' This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. While the book provides interesting characterization (the protagonist, antagonist and their sidekicks) and parodies of political figures - the plot line is a little too weak and far-fetched to really grab me.

No character is minor: They’re all hilarious.” - Houston Chronicle “Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day.” - Chicago Sun-Times Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Road to Omaha “A very funny book. And only one thing is certain: Ludlum will keep us in nonstop suspense-and side-splitting laughter-through the very last page. Their outraged opposition will be no less than the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House.

Their goal is to reclaim a choice piece of American real estate: the state of Nebraska, which just so happens to be the headquarters of the U.S. Chief Thunder Head, hatches a brilliant plot that will ultimately bring him and his reluctant legal eagle, Sam Devereaux, before the Supreme Court. Discovering a long-buried 1878 treaty with an obscure Indian tribe, the Hawk, a.k.a. Robert Ludlum’s wayward hero, the outrageous General MacKenzie Hawkins, returns with a diabolical scheme to right a very old wrong-and wreak vengeance on the who drummed him out of the military.
