Talk:The Trade of Queens

Needs expansion
The article needs some expansion. I've been looking for a definitive review. By book 6, it's far, far out of fantasy territory, and off in Tom Clancy land. The book has Dick Cheney as a character, by name. The final battle starts like this: "At 11:00 AM Zulu time, the first of thirty-six B52H Stratofortresses ran its engines up to full throttle, and began its takeoff roll. It was a hot day, and the huge jet's wing tanks were gravid with jet fuel; it climbed slowly away, shaking the ground with a bellowing thunder like the onrushing end of the world". --John Nagle (talk) 05:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Nope, not by name -- he's only ever called "WARBUCKS" (ostensibly, his Secret Service code-name). But of course it is quite obviously meant to be him: There's lots of reference to Halliburton, to his history of heart trouble, to having worked with Rumsfeld (who is mentioned by name) in the Nixon (ditto) administration, and I think also a quip about shooting a friend in the face, like Cheney did. But still, I don't think I saw the name "Cheney" spelled out at any point in this or any other book in the series.--CRConrad (talk) 12:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

He was finally referred to as Cheney. 70.197.147.221 (talk) 00:11, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
