Description

The vice president of the United States is conflicted. She has risen to her current job by jumping on the bandwagon with President Andrew Freeman, who is now waging war against America's biggest enemy-Iran.

Amy Roosevelt must make a decision whether to stay with Freeman or challenge him for the nomination. Through back channels, she learns that the president's health is declining. As Roosevelt ponders her decision, a conservative backbench congressman from Missouri breaks out of the wannabes in the other party and also decides to run.

All this plays out as the man known only as Ishmael continues his campaign of violence.
