Check out Christina Irelan's review of Mayageddon 2012 (now titled Immaculate Deception)

Review: 

I didn't think I was going to like this novel at all. I'm not really into politics much. To my surprise when I started reading it I just couldn't put it down. I absolutely love that Ken included lots of comedy in a very serious environment. I laughed out loud more than once while reading this wonderful novel.
