Secret Service agent Eddie Folk vowed to take a bullet for the President; he never thought he'd be the one to pull the trigger. Volatile, paranoid, and in cognitive decline, President James Brash is transforming America into something unrecognizable even as a deadly smallpox outbreak wreaks havoc on the nation.
When an investigative journalist uncovers evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the very heart of the pandemic, Eddie must choose between his oath to protect the president and his duty to protect the Constitution.
But some oaths are worth breaking. Vice President Sarah Miles, the last sane voice in the cabinet, is forced to choose between her own political aspirations and saving the Republic. The only option left may be to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove a sitting president from power...by whatever means necessary
