"Balance of Power" is a chilling, fictionalized account of the politics of gun control in the United States. The book is well written. Mr. Patterson's writing style, although sometimes technical, is easily understood. It is also apparent that he has done his research on gun violence, the workings of Congress, and the relative laws. He goes into detailed descriptions of political haggling, depositions, and Senate hearings.
A good read, this novel raises legitimate questions even if you don't agree with Patterson's politics. I give it 4 stars.
