Somewhere in Russia is a man so powerful that no one even knows his name. Yet though he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings - and pulling them hard. With her finger on the switch to the European economy and her sights on the American jugular, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a president, he has been appointed Tsar, a signal to the world that the old imperial power is back - and plans to have her day. At the same time, a mysterious killer brutally murders an innocent American family, in the process blowing up the small midwestern town they called home. Just a taste, according to the new Tsar, of what will happen if America does not step aside in preventing Russia`s plans to `reintegrate` her rogue states. Onto this nightmarish...

En Russie, l`influence des femmes en politique a pris racine dans une étonnante tradition historique devenue un véritable phénomène de civilisation. Celles que l`on a coutume d`appeler les "Tsarines", même lorsqu`elles n`ont aucun lien avec la famille impériale, voient leur pouvoir prendre corps au XVIIIe siècle, où les femmes régnèrent sans interruption.

Tulipe, ancien déporté, vit à Harlem, après la guerre, dans un meublé sordide. Il a pour seuls amis un autre émigré, oncle Nat, de race imprécise, et la fille de ce dernier, Léni. Tulipe est le Blanc failli, qui avoue, proclame, mime sa capitulation. Il tente de s`arracher à tout ce qui fut et demeure pour lui sacré et se réfugie dans le cynisme. Réaliste jusque dans la parodie, jonglant aussi bien avec les millénaires qu`avec toutes les "bonnes paroles" sempiternelles, ce roman né du monde nihiliste de 1945 où l`on venait de "gagner" une guerre dont l`atrocité même était une défaite n`a rien perdu de ses qualités d`actualité.
