Editorial Book Review:

By Ricardo Law


This sharp and funny political satire is about an odd and lonely Trump fan named Bud Randolph who gets caught up in a strange chain of events involving missing snakes, Russian brides, and a preacher named Clem Dudas who handles snakes. Clem, a charismatic preacher, entertains his congregation with his risky religious rituals and is also involved in creating fake AI political exposés. Things take a wild turn when Clem’s wife and his beloved snakes mysteriously disappear, prompting Bud and his quirky team of detectives to step in and solve the case.


Bud gets more involved with the investigation and finds more lies, shady Russian connections, and even more dangerous secrets than he thought. In the middle of all the chaos, Bud goes on his own adventure to Russia to find love after several failed tries at dating online. He meets Sveta, a strong-willed Russian woman who introduces him to the complex realities of Russia’s political situation and her personal plight in Ukraine. While Bud remains rooted in his own political beliefs, including a fascination with Putin as a “tough hombre” like Trump, Sveta challenges him to see the world differently.


There is a great mix of silly and sad in this book. There is a crazy question and touching scenes that show how people need to love, connect, and feel like they belong. Because Bud has flaws and blind spots, he can help people think about the bigger effects of false information and political zeal. Even though he was bad, there is a thread of redemption running through his story that gives us hope that even the most deeply held views can change through love and experience.


With its fast pace, biting humor, and a plot full of unexpected twists, this story captivates readers from start to finish, making it a satirical yet heartfelt tale about politics, love, and self-discovery.
