"In a city not quite of any particular era, a distant and calculating man named Lenz Buchmann works as a surgeon, treating his patients as little more than equations to be solved: life and death no more than results to be worked through without the least compassion. Soon, however, Buchmann's ambition is no longer content with medicine, and he finds himself rising through the ranks of his country's ruling party . . . until a diagnosis transforms this likely future president from a leading player into just another victim."--P. [4] of cover.

La verdad es que esperaba mucho más de este libro. El protagonista es un sociópata que de profesión es neurocirujano y que, posterior a ciertos sucesos familiares decide entrar en la política para cumplir sus deseos de poder y grandeza. Al principio, se antojaba interesante por algunas reflexiones interesantes que planteaba con respecto al poder, la existencia y la posición del ser humano. Sin embargo, muy pronto se empieza a volver repetitiva y cansina la perorata para hacerte ver a un hombre loco y enfermo de poder. Así se lleva dos terceras partes del libro y la última parte sucede rápida y simplona. Honestamente nada recomendable.
