| Publisher Description: Democratic Dawn is the last book in the Greatest Game series, where Rupertheimer steers his people through the 1994 transition, by outwitting his right-wing Afrikaner uncle Barefoot Battelle. Who's been joined by Rupertheimer's arch-enemy Killick Vokop, yet canny Rupertheimer wins through, with the help of tough police General Kokkenbull. To finally arrive at 1994 democratic elections, a glorious achievement unparalleled throughout history. Never before had a ruling elite willingly given up power, nowhere else had a single bold individual achieved it, the Greatest Game series of books reveals who that remarkable individual was. Yet ever since his schooldays Rupertheimer has been plagued by two fanatic liberals, Thorn Thompson and Dick Clott now write for Liberal Times, where they freely express their liberal rights. Rupertheimer Corporation no longer own the newspaper, for they have sold their media empire, which allows Thorn and Dick free rein to attack Rupertheimer. Liberal Times is now owned by Australian media mogul Croc Hack, who is too timid to control his journalists, Randlord Rupertheimer remonstrates with his friend Croc but to no avail. Until the shocking Jimmy Savile paedophilia scandal, spurs timorous Croc Hack into action. Croc Hack sells his UK press who hacked celebrity phones, yet kept silent about paedophile Jimmy Savile, as a final act Croc fires Thorn Thompson and Dick Clott. So in concert with vengeful Killick Vokop, the two embittered journalists stage a raid on Hotazel Diamond Mine, but Rupertheimer and his now reformed uncle Barefoot Battelle thwart the raiders. The book ends when the second generation, Roy Rupertheimer and Liza Jarvis marry, there is joy at the union but also a sombre warning. That the new millennium would bring three great perils, terrorism then corruption and plague, but new hero Will Powers would handle it. |
