"At thirty-two minutes past eight this morning, in a clear act of terrorism, the president of the United States was assassinated." A nightmare scenario is brought to frightening life in this suspense-packed novel informed by a Washington insider's knowledge. Sweeping from the White House Situation Room to Camp David to the inner sanctums of the FBI, Caspar Weinberger's "Chain Of Command" pits Secret Service agent Mike Delaney against a ruthless hidden enemy with the cold-blooded will to take out the leader of the free world in an explosive act of violence -- and the arrogance to frame Delaney for the killing. Someone has infiltrated the highest levels of government to see their catastrophic plans made real, and Delaney, prepared to give his life for his president, is now on the run to save himself, his innocence -- and America's freedom.
Autorenporträt
Caspar W. Weinberger was a politician and businessman who served in a variety of prominent roles, most notably as Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1987—the third longest tenure for a Secretary of Defense in US history. Later, Weinberger became publisher and chairman of Forbes, where over the next decade he wrote frequently on defense and national security issues. In 1990, he wrote Fighting for Peace , an account of his Pentagon years; in 1996, Weinberger coauthored a book entitled The Next War, which raised questions about the adequacy of US military capabilities following the end of the Cold War. Chain of Command is his first novel. Weinberger died in 2006.
