Government architect John Newman is immensely proud of one of his top achievements-the largest and most sophisticated emergency operation facility in the country, built to house top U.S. government programs. President Christopher Wilcox makes a top secret visit to the facility, but tragedy strikes when an earthquake destroys the complex. With the president presumed dead, Vice President Edward Vance assumes the duties of the presidency. Thanks to Newman's design, the president is still alive-and Newman is now in charge of keeping him that way. Trapped inside, President Wilcox is powerless to expose an imminent threat to the United States, one that will forever change the American way of life. When rumors of the president's survival begin to emerge, all rescue operations suddenly cease, by order of acting President Vance. Is one man's blind ambition keeping Wilcox from resuming the presidency, or is there something much more sinister afoot?

Autorenporträt
I was born in Sioux City, Iowa. After graduating from school, I joined the U.S. Navy. That started my career of traveling all over the world. Just before my enlistment was up, I flew around the world in seven days. On returning to Sioux City, I married, raised four children and began a career in emergency management. I started as a volunteer emergency civil defense worker, then a full-time civil defense director, and a civilian disaster preparedness officer for the U.S. Air Force. For 26 years before my retirement, I was a federal emergency coordinator for several federal agencies. Over the years, many people have asked why I chose this profession, and I always give the same answer. If I could save one life, all of it would be worth it. What I did not say was that I was out to save thousands of lives if a major disaster should occur. I have never regretted the path I chose. It was a remarkable career that led me right to the steps of the White House.
