Book excerpt: Everyone knows the fable about the grasshopper that spent his life carousing and playing his fiddle as the other insects worked hard preparing for the future. Imagine a city of grasshoppers so completely devoted to fun and revelry that over the centuries they developed a mindset so pervasive that the other insects of Circle City adopted this behavior as a lifestyle and heritage. So renowned was Circle City for its celebrations and debauchery that insects from around the world came to experience its care-free existence and indulge in its excesses and pleasures. But along with the music and merrymaking was a rampant undercurrent of corruption that was accepted by the local insects as yet another aspect of life in the city. Political intrigue and liaisons begin to emerge when an upcoming election threatens the existing political establishment. Not only is power and money at risk, but the destiny of Circle City as well. Politics makes strange bedfellows and election day is when they rendezvous.
