Using a weapon bestowed upon him by a shamed doctor, a homeless man conquers his country. A dead body sees through its mind’s eye a war fought with lasers involving billions, and Canada’s ministerial election.

UPDATE #2:

A young patriot who fought and received accolades in the Laser War is recruited for efficiently leading a double life, to seduce and spy on an ex-politician and perceived threat to his country.

How does fighting with distinction in a laser war qualify the protagonist to work as a spy?

And the notion of fighting in a "Laser War" is more interesting than seducing and spying.? It seems to me the story hook is in prologue to the plot rather than the plot proper.
