What if both the president and vice-president-elect die before taking office? The consequences would lead to total political chaos. Ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone finds himself in a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, a man whose deep-seated hatred for the United States has roots in his loyalty to the former Soviet Union. After being shot down over Siberia, Malone discovers that Zorin, along with a sleeper ex-KGB officer in the West, is headed to Washington D.C. with Inauguration Day just hours away. A flaw in the Constitution and a problematic presidential succession act create a perfect storm for disaster, which Zorin plans to exploit. Armed with a Cold War weapon believed to be a myth, he intends to launch an attack, aided by a shocking secret from the archives of the Society of Cincinnati, a historical fraternal organization that once assisted U.S. presidents with military strategies. As the clock ticks down from the frozen landscapes of Russia to the White House, Malone must confront not only Zorin but also a crippling fear he has long denied, which now threatens everything. This thrilling narrative weaves together history and speculation in a gripping race against time.
