general from the former Red Army. Democratic Russia has fallen and
out of the ashes of the Cold War, communist Russia has been reborn

its military resources by defending itself from terrorism. When the
threat of Boris' regime becomes apparent, the U.S. immediately

They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges
doing time in a Florida federal prison.
One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo
profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride.
Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in
their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about
old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and
contemplate where their lives went wrong.
Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich -- very fast.
And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing
letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam ... while
events outside their prison walls begin to erupt.
A bizarre presidential election is holding the nation in its grips
-- and a powerful government figure is pulling some very hidden
strings. For the Brethren, the timing couldn't be better. Because
they've just found the perfect victim...
"From the Paperback edition."
