I have not finished this book yet, but I want to start over again this summer. It is quite interesting, and poses some interesting theories and scenarios. Basically, Mexico pisses off an oil-rich country and they cut off their communications satellite, leaving them without any electron communications. If it is controlled by a satellite, it is gone. Can you imagine? I haven't finsihed it so I can't offer the best review, but I would recommend it based on what I have read.
