The Project (Paperback)

It's ten years after the Gulf War and U.S. Speaker of the House Dewey Goldberg has been sworn in as President of the United States following the accidental deaths of his predecessors. But he soon discovers that Israeli Prime Minister Elihu Barzel may be backing a fundamentalist opponent. Concerned, he dispatches his journalist-friend Charlie Walker to investigate. What Walker discovers is a plan code-named "The Project" -- a plan so compelling that it not only jeopardizes the president's chances for reelection, but also the delicate and precarious balance of world power.
