review 1: An interesting facet of this book is the pieces of history which author Bob Mayer inserts. It isn't just Jefferson that he refers to--other presidents and historical characters as well. The main villain is a woman who is very adept with a Japanese short sword. She has a penchant for cutting herself when things go wrong, as luckily they do. The good guys are trying to locate the various parts which make up the cipher, as well as the document known as The Jefferson Allegiance. One of the locations is the grave of Edgar Allen Poe--not in front of the church, but behind it. There is a lot of action--and casulties.
review 2: The premise is that Thomas Jefferson and those in power in his time wrote a secret provision in the Constitution. This became known as ... morethe Jefferson Allegiance and would, if necessary, protect our country from misuse of presidential power. To keep any one person from misusing the Allegiance, information of its specifics was divided among four people, and their heirs. Each controlled a portion of the wooden disks, that together with a cipher, spelled out the location of the actual Allegiance. This sets the stage for competing sides to use whatever means necessary to find all of the disks, so that the content of the Allegiance could be known and then used by them. A number of historical vignettes are used to describe periods of time during our history when certain presidents have ostensibly over stepped their powers and use of the Allegiance has been threatened. less
