Kathleen Corbin, a witness to a political murder, was targeted for assassination by factions within the government. For nearly two years she had been hiding out in a small Arizona town when the assassins caught up to her. Rick Baron knew that Osama bin Laden was the number one target. American intelligence had him in hiding just across the border in Iran, a place where no U.S. troops could go. But they did. Captain Richard Baron and his group of Special Forces men were sent on a clandestine mission into Iran to capture or kill the top terrorist. But the mission had gone terribly wrong. Facing annihilation, only the extraordinary actions of Major Regina Rosen could save Baron and his men. Maxine Robinson-Pierre was now the President of the United States. As the Speaker of the House, she had assumed the position as a result of the Impeachment of the President and Vice President. But the charges against the country's leaders were bogus. They had been orchestrated by Pierre so she could ascend to the throne. General Hal Straight had wrangled himself into the position of Pierre's right-hand man. He now commanded all armed forces and intelligence agencies in the country. Under his advice, the new President instituted Martial Law and gave Straight a free hand to brutalize the country. Violence ran rampant. Sheer chance would bring Baron and Corbin together and set off a chain of events that would challenge the new power structure in the Nation's Capitol. Pierre had to be stopped; she had initiated a Reign of Terror not unlike the one that followed the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century - the SECOND REIGN.
