Premise
A novice U.S. Secretary of State joins the administration of her rival, a president inaugurated after four years of American leadership that shrank from the world stage. A series of terrorist attacks throws the global order into disarray, and the Secretary is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the deadly conspiracy, a scheme carefully designed to take advantage of an American government dangerously out of touch and out of power in the places where it counts the most.[3]
Background and release
The book project was announced on February 23, 2021, with the two authors' usual publishers distributing the work on October 21, 2021.[4] The book debuted at number 1 on the October 31 New York Times bestseller lists for combined print and e-book fiction as well as hardcover fiction.[5][6] It also appeared on Publishers Weekly's October 25 bestseller lists for Top 100 Overall and Hardcover Frontlist Fiction.[7][8]
