This was an amazing book with a very real premise... I can't really talk too much about the premise without spoiling the book but needless to say that everything that has happened with the terrorist attacks has happened in the 'real world.' Secretary of State Ellen is put into a precarious position of having to move from her former position being very much in charge of her media empire into being someone who very much serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States. What seems incredulous is that in her former role she was often at odds with, and responsible for, extremely negative press surrounding the newly inaugurated President Williams. This book is full of political intrigue both national and international as the Secretary of State tries to discern who is friend and who is foe. To make matters worse, there is a deadly deadline that she needs to solve before America is knocked to its knees or worse reduced to cinders. This book was very well written - it was very easy to read and it was one of those books that you have a hard to put down! Definitely a top five book for me in 2022.
