Preserve and Protect

The United States is thrown into chaos as the President is killed in a plane crash shortly after securing his partys nomination in a hotly contested race for re-election. As suspicions are cast upon the circumstances of the place crash the incumbent party quickly convenes to nominate a candidate in a storm of domestic and international chaos. Against the backdrop of a rich cast of characters the motivations and drives of each candidate and player help shape the future of the nation and the world. Allen Drurys Preserve and Protect brings to a climax the epic saga begun with Pulitzer Prize winning Advise and Consent-and ends with one of the greatest cliffhangers in all of political fiction.
