This was a great read. The story just clipped along, and although it was a bit on the long side (127 pages) I found it to be a real page-turner that would could make a tremendous, compelling movie some day.
The premise was very imaginative, and it's one of those "What would you do if you could..." ideas, where the morality of the lead character has been tested (which he apparently failed...since the body-possessing hero inhabited the body of a lawyer, then immediately became a politician).
Some of the themes are a little outdated -- the lead character was affected by the Gulf War Syndrome, which is not nearly the hot-button item it once was, and things like cell phone usage and the internet are not really touched upon. So it could be done as a kind of 1990s period piece, but it could just as easily be updated with touches of new technology.
All told, it was a tight script that really clipped along (as any good thriller should). It worked great as a political thriller with sci-fi elements, but it also told a very compelling, personal story. I loved the heck out of it. Can I say "heck?"
