Councilor by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

Modesitt is a philosopher.  His books make you ponder your own reality.  I’ve read roughly eighty of his books according to my database.  Most had more action than this book but all of them have had some philosophic points to ponder.   Who knows if Modesitt is offering commentary on current events with his corporate entities and outside influencers impacting politics?  I think this is a political novel.  

In college literature, the professor and I were at odds over the interpretation of Robert Frost. I suspect there will be those who question my interpretation of Modesitt’s work. 

Dekkard and Avraal are former security aides.  Avraal is an empath and is now spending most of her time protecting Dekkard in his new occupation as one of the sixty-six councilors that govern the nation.  Dekkard needs protection due to his efforts to reform the government.

There are obvious parallels to current events.

I enjoyed the book and wonder if I am reading more into the book than Modesitt intended.
