In one of two possible ends to the Pulitzer Prize–winning thriller series, the US president faces threats from half-way around the world—and much closer.

The Advise and Consent series is a landmark of political fiction, displaying a depth of insider Washington knowledge and a canvas of compelling characters that catapulted each novel to the top of the bestseller lists.

At the end of the previous novel, Preserve and Protect, an assassin’s bullet rings out, and we are left to wonder who was killed. Was it the Liberal Vice President Ted Jason, or staunch Conservative Presidential Candidate Orrin Knox? The answer to that question was so large that Pulitzer Prize–winner Drury had to write two novels, each exploring the full ramifications of one of two outcomes . . .

In Come Nineveh, Come Tyre, China and the Soviet Union are waiting and watching for any sign of weakness from the untried Ted Jason, survivor of the assassination attempt that took the life of Orrin Knox and propelled him into the presidency. But now that he is in this position of power, is he up to the challenge of leadership in such a time of crisis? Or will he bend too far toward appeasement, at the cost of freedom around the world?

Looking at the stakes for the United States against the backdrop of war, politics, and scandal, President Jason must play winner-take-all in this game of politics.
