The action starts while the United States is under the leadership of President Keating, with an operation in Libya going wrong. Instead of annihilating extremist terrorist leader Asim Al-Asheed and his followers, the leader’s family is killed instead. The President loses his seat in a successful takeover bid and removes himself and his family to a quieter location. He, his wife Samantha and his teenage daughter Melanie move on with their lives.Brewing behind the scenes is a plan for revenge, combined with a complex Chinese spy operation that extends its reach into many quarters. It must be noted that the former president, is also a former decorated navy SEAL. Time passes, and Melanie reaches the age of 18, and her security detail is removed, leaving a smaller detail focused only on the past president, and the compound they live in at Lake Marie, New Hampshire.
The plan for revenge is sprung, and every parent’s nightmare becomes a reality. The former president steps up, connections work together, and the hunt goes trans-continental back to Libya. Is it real, is it possible, did they save her? Who were the heroes? Who else is rotten out there? All good questions that you will need to read the book to find the answers.
An entertaining fast paced read delivered by James Patterson, and Bill Clinton. - Christine E Hann
