Product Description
In one bloody night, three of Washington's most powerful politicians are executed with surgical precision. Their assassins then deliver a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside partisan politics and restore power to the people. No one, they warn, is out of their reach -- not even the president. A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O'Rourke, a former U.S. Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence: a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country's future....

Cynthia Welsh (USA: AZ) (2009/06/23):
The only reason I finished this book is so that I could honestly and completely write a review. This is one of the worst books I have ever read or come across. The characters are poorly developed and display inadequate motivation that I could buy in to to justify their committing murder. I frequently read murder mysteries. But, in this book the "hero"/main character is a murderer and vigilante. The main character, a young Congressman in Washington, D.C. justified violent behavior with the wording in the Declaration of Independence used by Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers justified our revolution. However, now we do have voting rights. Why didn't these men exercise their right to run a candidate for public office and get rid of the people they killed in a lawful manner and allow the people to exercise their will. What takes place in this book is a military coup d'etat. As an American I find that really offensive that these men would voilate the rule of law and and true spirit of the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers very carefully put into the Constitution the superiority of civilian authority to our military for good reason. I am surprised at the high rating for this book. The writing wasn't even at the level of a freshman English class.
