When the President has Alzheimer's, who will notice? Who will act on it? Will their actions be for the good of the country, or for their own good? Many people believe these important questions went unasked and unanswered during the Reagan years, but author Dale Napier explores all their implications in depth in his debut political thriller, White House Storm.In this tribute to Seven Days in May, General Stormy Thornton disagrees violently with President Charlie Davidson's peaceful overtures to a new democratically elected Iranian regime. Using a doctor's secret assessment, Thornton realizes that Davidson's otherwise undiagnosed Alzheimer's gives him a unique opportunity to seize control of the country through Internet and broadcast communications and the military, giving him the power if not the title of the presidency.When Vice President Joan Queenan discovers what's going on, her hands are tied. The president cannot help her, and she is physically tied to her White House entourage with no freedom of movement, so she calls upon an old friend from her Congressional days, Colonel Sam Chin of the Cyber Command.Chin's forays take him to a gay Mafia capo, a mid-state Nevada brothel, a century-old New Orleans triad, a debauched Nevada senator with keys to the cyber bunker in Area 53 north of Las Vegas, and a cyber general playing all sides against the middle, gambling on the most likely outcome.Even as Chin's discoveries lead to an obvious evolution for Joan Queenan, Stormy Thornton makes one last, desperate stand to take power, sending Army troops and tanks to Pennsylvania Avenue - ostensibly to protect the White House, but with the guns pointing inward. Stormy's final stand, sending Zumwalt class nuclear-armed destroyers to attack Tehran and a Chinese fleet, spins out of control when he discovers that even he doesn't know how to stop them. The result is a taut, edge-of-the-chair thriller that will keep your reading into the wee hours of the morning.From the opening I was hooked. White House Storm transports you into a high octane political thriller that could be playing on the big screen. -Jill CooperKeen and accurate research, a relevant plot and absorbing read. -Sam Isenmanwww.WhiteHouseStorm.com
