review 1: This is a 2010 Ben K Washington DC story that I hadn't read.I liked the two separate but concurrent stories being interwoven throughout the book.Of course, the Ben K portion was the primary story and what a story!?!?!!I tip my hat to Bernhardt - that white House scenario had never entered my head - holy cow!!!!!I rarely give 5 stars and rarely give one or two stars. Probably as a result of my training as an elementary school teacher with the 4 3 2 1 system. You have to be either defiant or non-participatory to get a "1" and you have to be at the nedxdt grade level to get a "4". That leaves you with a "2: for partially proficient and a "3" for proficient". (Can you give I just finished grades for this year?)But I digress....great read!
review 2: Lawyer and
... more former senator Ben Kincaid is meeting with the president when Washington suddenly explodes into chaos. A fanatical foreign dictator has hacked into the U.S. nuclear defense system and now has a finger on the trigger of America’s most dangerous weapons. Kincaid is whisked, along with the president and his advisors, to an underground bunker, but the president seems to be falling apart under the pressure—and the vice president wants to strip him of his powers. While Kincaid scrambles to defend the president, CIA agent Seamus McKay races through Washington, searching for a hidden command center that now controls U.S. ballistic missiles. As McKay and Kincaid move closer to uncovering a world-shattering plot, the ultimate act of betrayal is launched from the heart of the American capitol itself. less

A waist of time. Should have started "Once upon a time." A political fantasy.
