Worth consuming – but only just!

Good idea set around a company that wants to ‘buy’ a whole country to enable it to hold a seat at the UN.

Que the questionable ethics, under-the-table deals and individual self-reflection. Gets going nicely but tails off towards the end and loses its way slightly.

Read this only if you are a hard-core Banks fan, if not turn to The Wasp Factory or The Crow Road.
