Аннотация

America is caught in the lethal center of an unwinnable two-front war — in this gripping and explosive thriller from the master of geopolitical intrigue…
The war on terrorism has borne bitter fruit, as the radical Islamic states forge an unholy alliance with a surging China, aiming for total control of the Middle East's vast oil reserves and the strategic Strait of Malacca. As a new axis of world power simultaneously launches a devastating double-pronged conflict — one a depleted American military cannot possibly win — President Maddy Turner, the first woman ever to occupy the Oval Office, must react swiftly to a global crisis of world-altering proportions. And so she turns to the only man she can trust in the brutal snake pit of Beltway politics: Brigadier General Matt Pontowski. A brilliant flyer and military tactician, and the intimate confidant of the most powerful woman on Earth, he must now undertake a mission at once bold and extraordinary — and potentially suicidal — as a desperate nation confronts Armageddon, and its leader approaches what will be either her finest hour… or her most tragic mistake.
