Synopses & Reviews
On an isolated highway in the Crimea, en route to a top secret summit, the President of the United States and those assigned to protect him are brutally slain by heavily armed assailants. On a rushing whitewater river in the Missouri Ozarks, a jet-black Huey helicopter rains death upon the traveling party of the U.S. Vice President-and only the quick, decisive actions fo Special Agent Vince Kellogg of the Secret Service save the V.P. from sharing their Commander-In-Chief's grim fate.
Suddenly liberty and democracy are under siege, threatened by the spreading fires of a terrifying new American Revolution ignited from within the nation's own sacrosanct halls of power. And on Nightwatch-a specially designed 747 flying high above the Earth and the new seat of an uncertain U.S. government-Commander Brittany Cooper realizes that, if the country she serves is to exist after tomorrow, she must be willing to take the most drastic and dangerous measures necessary, as she stands in the eye of a firestorm of treason, nuclear terror, and death.
