President Burlington is starting to make some real progress both at home and abroad. But while attending an international conference in Istanbul, a terrorist attack hampers his efforts for a Mideast peace.

However, the worst threat may lie back in Washington, where a disenfranchised member of his Administration seeks to undermine President Burlington. In addition, a former First Lady and Secretary of State, accompanied by her minions, resort to extreme efforts to dig up dirt on the President, his family, and the new First Lady.

Amid all of the turmoil, the president hopes to sign into law a new healthcare package, the first major legislation to be passed using the newly revised Congressional rules that require laws be targeted, written in plain English, and published in advance before being voted on and passed.

He’s so close now, but his political enemies are closer than ever and will stop at nothing to reverse all his momentum and success.

Conservative values once again battle corrupt politicians in this story of succinct and believable political fiction. If you’re looking for novels based on real history, this new political fiction series fits the bill. If you enjoyed the movie, The American President or the hit TV series, The West Wing, you'll love The Ship of State.
