In 1969, Jake Cazalet saved the life of a Frenchwoman in Vietnam, and a brief, passionate affair ensued. Years later in Paris, he was introduced to another beautiful young woman - his daughter. For many reasons, their relationship remained a secret. Now Jake Cazalet is president of the United States. Somehow, someone has discovered the truth about his daughter, and she is seized by a vicious extremist group. If the president does not comply with the kidnapper's demands - or uses any of America's security agencies to track them down - they will execute her. He has ten days to decide. Desperate, he turns to British operative Sean Dillon and FBI agent Blake Johnson. And if these two men cannot find his daughter, the president will have to make the most momentous decision of all...

"One of those thrillers packed with mystery and action that will only allow you to wonder and be amazed. The sides are clear and it is a battle between 2 parties, that with their large possession of powers, anything can happen. " — Isaac (4 out of 5 stars)

" I've never read an airport paperback like this. It was fine. Now I have to write coverage of it. "
" Intrigue--who is this guy?, who can you trust? Action--shootings, escapes, explosions, kidnappings. Sean Dillon is the can't-be-beat go-to guy who saves the day, and the President's French daughter. "
" Maybe I've been reading too many mysteries lately... I kept waiting for the twist, but it just never came. "
" Good read... Nothing new and very predicatble. Surprises you in parts. "
" It was a quick and easy read on vacation and the storyline was good, but at times the dialogue was just crappy! "
" Ridiculous plot. Unbelievable characters. Stilted writting. "
" I consider this one of Jack's best novels. "
" Excellent; Continuing character: Sean Dillon; Israeli extremists kidnap the US President's illegitimate daughter to try and force him to bomb Arab countries; Dillon and company come to the rescue. "
" This was a fairly enjoyable adventure story, with the usual elements. I did feel at the end that I did not "know" the characters as well as I would like, but overall the book delivered the type of story that kept me interested until the somewhat expected ending. "
" Frankly, I bailed on this book a quarter of the way through. The writing was so stilted and a bit condescending to the reader, and after giving it a fair chance I gave up. There are too many good books out there to waste time on something like this. "
" Not a spine tingling page turner but engaging enough to read the whole thing. I might try some of his other books to develop a more informed opinion of his writing. "
" Really fast political mystery - fun in the Bourne series sort of way - action is good sometimes :) "
" mindless read...good for a long flight. "
