Lady President
Lady president was often compared to Tom Clancy novels by several reporters and book reviewers. This political thriller takes our present day historic events happening today and asks the question: Are we ready? Russia invading Crimea, Ukraine and other parts of the world. ISIS attacking Iraq and Syria. China invading waterways of Vietnam, Japan and Taiwan. The riots in Hong Kong. The shooting down of Flight MH17 over Ukraine. Shootings in our schools. The Ferguson, Missouri riots. News reporters are predicting our new president will be inheriting a nightmare. And our next president may be a woman.
Lady President from the first line - a disaster occurs in Iran and sets off a series of global conflicts racing us to a Third World War. Then, the President of the United States is assassinated by a bomb, also killing the family of Vice President Marie Arcola. Now, with the weight of the world on her shoulders, President Marie Arcola must hold America together. This is a tough look at the stress and responsibility our first lady president will have. This novel will not only be an inspiration to women in America, it will be an inspiration to women around the world. So, once again. Are we ready for our first woman president?

I got this book by accident while trying out Amazon Prime and ended up paying for it. How it happened was that I tried to browse the top rated e-books in some category in the Kindle section.
O.K., since I paid for it, even if not much, I might as well read it. I am sorry to say that this is one of the few books I could not get myself to finish.
On page one some of the main characters are introduced. Marie, beautiful, smart, slender and a mother with precisely the right mixture of love and guidance to her child, is holding the office of American Vice President. Though incredibly capable, she is too modest to desire the job of her superior, the president. She does not need it, because she is married to a very good looking and thoughtful man, who not only is slender and sporty as well, but has made millions with his company whose products are a service to mankind.
The book would not be titled as it is if everything would stay this way, even though, on second thought, it must have been rather tedious to live such a perfect live in the past. So it is time for a change when some terrible people who must hate freedom and beauty do the unspeakable. Not to spoil the story, Marie of course proves equal to the task thrown upon her - and this is about as far as I got, before my patience had run out.
I hope I am not doing the book injustice and want to clearly point out that I have not read most of it for the above reasons. I kept waiting for this perfect dime novel world to collapse to make room for a real story unfolding, but lost hope when the good was contrasted by an equally flat evil. I see the advantage in Batman, that here, by contrast, we have a story line which does not really take itself seriously.
