A compelling story, and only too realistic. Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary

Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn t get fixed. So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Follett s nerve-racking drama of international tension.

A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country s secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis.

Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election.
