| Summary: | Washington. Amid the shuffle of tourists and the brisk rush of government officials, the stately calm of the White House is shattered in a hail of gunfire. A group of terrorists has descended on the Executive Mansion and gained access by means of a violent massacre that left dozens murdered. Through the quick actions of the Secret Service, the president is evacuated to his underground bunker, but not before almost one hundred hostages are taken. Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, makes his way into the White House and soon discovers that the president is not as safe as Washington's power elite had thought. Scrambling to save the hostages before the terrorists can extract the president from the safety of his bunker, Rapp makes a chilling discovery: someone within his own government is maneuvering in hopes that his rescue attempt will fail. -- adapted from jacket |
