From Memoirs of a President - "I sat down with a heavy sigh. Papers greeted me in every corner of the Oval Office. I was still drowning in my sorrows over the papers when an assistant walked in."I’m dreadfully sorry, sir," he said, walking over. "However you may want to turn on the TV." I gave him a puzzled look, picking up a fresh glass of cool, mountain water. "Okay," I said cautiously, switching on the television. What I saw horrified me. The glass fell out of my hand, crashing to the floor in a shower of water droplets and glass. Russia had declared nuclear war." In this poignant political thriller, Michael McKay takes us on a thrilling ride through a future not so far off, based in part on the current events conspiring in Crimea and around the world.
