"Intelligent. . . [a] page-turner. . . heart-stopping scenes of military derring-do, steely camaraderie, and selfless patriotism. . . a military thriller that delivers the requisite guts and glory while making a statement about the ambiguous role of violence in America." --Kirkus Reviews

“Reads like a collaboration between Tom Clancy and John Grisham....Huston continues to be a most welcome newcomer to the ranks of thriller-scribblers." —Booklist

In this rousing novel, the action sweeps from the Oval Office to a Navy SEAL assault on a remote Indonesian Island, from the court-marital of an admiral to the impeachment hearings of a peacenik President.

The President orders the arrest and trial of a battle group commander who, in defiance of a presidential order, led a Congress-authorized attack on terrorists. The angry Speaker of the House retaliates by initiating impeachment proceedings. Jim Dillon, the Speaker's top aide, finds himself defending the admiral in the court-martial and is named number-two prosecutor for the upcoming impeachment trial.

Meanwhile, a terrorist invades a U.S.-owned gold mine on an Indonesian island, murdering the American boss, and holding his wife hostage. The price for her life: release of captured fellow terrorists. Dillon uncovers another forgotten power to the Constitution-the Rules of Capture-to authorize a SEAL-led attack.

With a feel for politics that rivals Bob Woodward's, a Scott Turow-like gift for legal drama, and a hard-charging rush of military action that surpasses Tom Clancy, James W. Huston delivers a heart-stopping novel that builds to a riveting final confrontation on Capital Hill. Meanwhile, halfway around the world the SEALs head for shore in their new Mirage-assault boats to finish the job.
