This is a shorter book than the three previous ones in the on-going series about politics in the United States and almost un-put-downable. Here the action is practically non-stop from the first page through the final paragraph on the last page. As in "Capable of Honor" the narrative tension builds and builds and builds. And as in "Advise and Consent" there are some genuine surprises along the way.
After winning his party's nomination in Capable of Honor, newly-elected U.S. President Harley Hudson dies in a suspicious plane crash. William Abbott, the Speaker of the House, is reluctantly elevated to the Presidency. The Majority Party immediately convenes its National Committee, torn between the supporters of California Governor Ted Jason and those of Secretary of State and former Illinois Senator Orrin Knox.
Eventually Knox defeats Jason, but names Jason as his vice presidential nominee. At the conclusion of the novel, a gunman appears and opens fire on the two candidates and their wives.
