About this audiobook

Alle sind sich einig: Bruce Jansen wird neuer Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. In jeder Situation beweist er Stärke - selbst als seine Frau hochschwanger Opfer eines Attentats wird. Frisch im Amt erlässt er ein Dekret für Frieden und Sicherheit. Doch bald wird klar, was sich dahinter versteckt: die Einschränkung von Bürgerrechten und der Verlust der Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit. Das Land gerät immer mehr außer Kontrolle und steht kurz vor einem Bürgerkrieg. Nur Doggie Rogers, eine der engsten Vertrauten des Präsidenten, wittert ein Komplott auf höchster Ebene - und beginnt zu ermitteln.

    3/5
    Virginia governor Bruce Jansen takes a diverse group on a trip to China during which an assassin kills his wife, Carroll. Sixteen years later, Jansen has remarried and he is campaigning for president. Tragedy strikes on the night of his victory and, as he takes his place as president of the nation, he soon declares a state of emergency via his “Washington Decree.” Although these changes restrict freedom and deny citizens most of the rights granted in the Bill of Rights, they’re judged necessary for national security. The president’s implemented policies create chaos throughout the country and, as catastrophes escalate, panic grows and the nation teeters on the edge of complete and final destruction.Some of the characters in this narrative are well-drawn while others seem more stereotypical. The suspense builds as Jansen spirals out of control, but the narrative suffers from too much extraneous material and far too many pages. Nevertheless, it’s an intriguing political thriller that is guaranteed to make readers think.

    I did not enjoy this novel at all. Too many unbelievable acts, complete lack of reality in what Congress, the Secret Service, and the country would do to stop an out-of-control Presidential administration. One example: in what world would an administration allow the daughter of the man suspected of ordering the killing the President's wife continue to work closely with the President in the White House? And that's just one example. The book is full of them. And the ending is so obvious! I rarely say that I regret reading a book, but in this case, it's true.

    Kurzweiliger Roman, der sich schnell und mühelos lesen läßt. Spannend und gut geschrieben, sicherlich an einigen etwas unrealistisch, vor allem wenn man sich vor Augen hält, das das Privatleben amerikanischer Politiker bis ins kleinste Detail durchleuchtet wird.Das beschriebene Szenario wird hoffentlich niemals eintreten.
