Gabe Singleton and Drew Stoddard were once roommates at the Naval Academy. Today one is a doctor, the other President of the US. When the President's doctor mysteriously disappears he asks his old friend to take his place. Gabe is horrified when he witnesses some strange behavior by the President in the middle of a brutal campaign. Is the man fit to serve or not? As Gabe tries to decide there are attempts made on his life and he begins to believe that there is something very evil afoot. With the help of an undercover secret service agent who has problems of her own, Gabe takes on a terrifying and powerful enemy who is much closer than he would ever have believed. This is a fun read, with some very frightening possibilities. The characters are interesting, flaws and all and it moves at a stead clip.
