In 2011, the great earthquake and tsunami hit Japan with a force as powerful as any natural disaster recorded in history. How is it possible that this natural event could lead to a nuclear war?

President Schlossberg is also a single woman with significant feelings for a special man in her life. Can the President have a personal life while holding the most powerful position in the world and can she avoid the enemy that would give anything to see her dead? As usual, North Korea is the wild card in the state of world affairs. The succession of power in the country is of concern to all world powers. Will the son of the current Supreme Leader assume power and shake the world order with the threat of using a nuclear weapon? All of this combines to make Sayonara a thrill filled political ride that concludes this amazing series. If you have not read them in order, you should.
