Author Description

A new resurgence in the Irish Republican Army or IRA, funded in part by Al Qaeda and other fundamentalist Muslim interests, has risen to new heights of terrorist attacks in London and other parts of the British Commonwealty. What happens when the Royal family and most of the members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons are killed in one, momumental act of horror? Who will succeed to the Throne? Who will command the armed forces, British Intelligence services and Scotland Yard? Did the Prime Minister survive and can he pull the country back to order? Dennis Perkins, the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, is called into service at Buckingham Palace, to aid a new monarch and a new government. Powerful forces are at work, fighting the orderly restoration of throne and government-serious threats against the new Royals as the calculating head of the new IRA, The Leprechaun, pushes his own agenda of terror, assassination, and political p[ower. Dennis has his own agenda-a successful boyfriend, a job he loves, and he is Irish-not the best pedigree for success in a country where appearance and family background are the stepping stones to power. Dennis' most powerful nemesis, Major Peter Von Shiffer, Chief of Royal Security, is trusted by the new King, and close enough to kill with impunity the one, political rock that is holding the government together. Dennis is the first to admit he's in over his head...but what choice does he have.
