Eleanor Wilson, the 46th president of the United States, elected to her position by the thinnest of margins, four electoral votes. A life-long and certified Liberal from the state of Massachusetts, she brings to the nation's capital a team of likeminded helpers. Her legislative agenda includes The Green New Deal, the forgiveness of college student debt, Medicare for All and free college education for those who want it. America's adversaries soon learn that she is a neophyte in the realm of foreign policy, and pay her no attention. Over the course of her four-years in office, the nation's debt climbs to 24 trillion dollars. She loses her bid for another four-year term and most political observers conclude that she was the worst president in the nation's history.

North Korea and Iran, two nations, half a world apart, each with its own evil aspirations for power and control. Each armed with nuclear weapons and each, apparently, ready to use them. And each makes no secret of its intentions, daring other nations to intervene. At its headquarters in Langley, Virginia the Central Intelligence Agency has been ordered by the president to 'do something.' Problem is, the CIA has no assets in either country. In Iran, the CIA's station was shut down in 1979, nearly 40 years ago. North Korea is a walled-off country, since the 1953 armistice its ties to other countries are limited to those sympathetic to its Communist rulers Gradually, ever so slowly, the CIA is able to recruit agents indigenous to both countries and send them 'home' to report on current events. But there are only four of them and their lives are at risk at every turn. Using its latest spy-in-the-sky technology, combined with the incredible bravery of its on-the-ground assets, the CIA eventually negates the plans of the two nations, with regime change in each a real possibility.

In this, his eleventh novel, octogenarian/author John Sager writes about a close-to-home subject, our nation's health care system. As the resident of a thriving retirement community, he explores the proposition that America's health centers have not always been what the are today: dishonest physicians who prescribe drugs that have no medicinal value, grossly-inflated charges for routine health care procedures, the country's largest eldercare conglomerate that is heavily influenced by Chicago's Mafia and whose accounts are controlled by an unaccountable financier in the Cayman Islands. As the story unfolds, lawyers and judges begin to target the offenders, asking hard questions and demanding truthful answers. Finally, the culprits are identified and punished, but only after being prodded to do so by a persistent Seattle law firm.

Weeks later, there are more deaths. The Muslim terrorist organization, ISIS, claims responsibility for the deaths and threatens more of the same if the president ignores its demands. As the story unfolds, more deaths do happen and the pressure increases. The Muslims' demand: a new nation, divorced from the Russian Federation, from which ISIS can pursue its terrorist plans without interruption. With help of Russia's intelligence service, the Moscow station's assets eventually derail the ISIS plan but along the way others will perish. Finally, justice prevails but with an unexpected final .
