Book description
The time: the near future. The place: the White House. Francis Xavier Kennedy, President of the United States, cousin of JFK, faces the greatest crisis of his career. Theresa, his only child, has been seized by terrorists, who are making impossible demands – and simultaneously two unbalanced young scientists are holding the nation to ransom with a secretly planted nuclear device.
Surrounded by passionately loyal advisers, all too aware of the threat of assassination hanging over any Kennedy presidency, he acts – and alienates the richest and most powerful group of men in the United States, who determine to destroy him.
