THE MULTIPLE MAN
by Ben Bova
This takes off at a fast clip with President James J. Halliday's arrival in Boston to deliver a speech, and never slows down. Technological advances have made the future president assassination-proof. But then dead ringers for him start turning up dead, and presidential press secretary Meric Albano turns private eye to save the country. It's a slickly plotted jaunt through the upper governmental strata of tomorrow, with enough going on to entertain both the SF hard-core and those who like their thrillers political.
