Synopsis

Earth is rising in the House of Voltar... And there'll be hell to pay!
That's right. The invasion is on... and it's coming soon to a galaxy near you. The action couldn't be hotter, and the plot couldn't be more diabolical. Earth is coming to Voltar — and the Voltarians won't know what hit them.
Murder, blackmail, drugs, psychoanalysis, PR firms, sex-crazed teenyboppers, riots in the streets, women in chains. These are the powerful secret weapons of war — perfected on Earth and imported to Voltar — which are now being exploited by the ruthless Lombar Hisst, chief of the Coordinated Information Apparatus (the infamous CIA). His obsession: total domination of the Voltarian Confederacy.
Can anyone stop the madness? Does anyone have the courage and charisma to crash this party? Enter Royal Officer of the Fleet, Jettero Heller. Dodging Death Battalions and death warrants, he's racing from Earth to face the challenge.

Goodreads review by Jim

The book starts with the cliffhanger from the previous book. Heller, Izzy, and Twoey trapped in Delbert Rockecenter's web of dishonor. The resolution is surprising while still plausible. If you thought Voltar was in trouble before, imagine J. Walter "Madman" Madison and Teenie Whopper running loose.......more

Goodreads review by Michael

This is what I found fascinating in this volume: Hubbard drops two avatars of Earth's insanities on Voltar and let's them loose. We see how the introduction of a single unscrupulous PR (Madison) totally corrupts the media and causes massive social unrest. If the satire wasn't sufficiently on-point b......more
