...what's Fort Madison's secret? A healthy economy for one thing, with blue- and white-color jobs at Sheaffer pens, Dupont, Dial, Wabash National and a state prison. A sweet, leafy residential area within walking distance of downtown and the riverfront park, for another. And Fort Madison has the dumb luck of being too small to attract the kind of super discount stores that work like neutron bombs on downtowns, leaving the buildings standing but destroying all life forms...

Charlie Martin, the new novel's hero, appeared briefly in the earlier book as a presidential candidate--a U.S. Senator from the Midwest, dismissed by the press as a hippie Vietnam Vet. Many characters from Colors do brief walk-ons in the new book, much as the star of a popular sitcom may help launch a spin-off. On TV, of course, spin-offs usually fail...
