Sean McNulty takes a year to study abroad at Trinity College Dublin, wanting to escape the ennui of his trust fund life. Sean's father, an Irish-born success story and CEO of a Long Island defense contractor, has the world in the palm of his hand. Neither knows that world events will soon change their lives, as iron curtains and big-money defense contracts become a thing of the past. Sean learns that there is more to European student radicalism than mosh pit angst. Before long, Sean falls prey to a terrorist plot to get military secrets from his father's company, while his father battles to keep his not-so-squeaky-clean empire.

new ginger man?,
By Constance R McCahey (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The One Year (Paperback)
It is nice to see that a book can strike a balance between the quality of literature and the page-turning fun of a thriller. i enjoyed the parallelism with Kundera. the dialogue was excellent and the story left me asking, was this true? time and time again. Gorman did an excellent job of bringing you behind the scenes of government prosecuters, defense contractor boardrooms, old boy clubs at Trinity, and radical haunts of Europe. Well done.
