In this adventure, Taggart discovers a conspiracy to replace the President of the United States with an impostor. Why? Unlike the movie DAVE, which uses the same idea, a cabal of arms dealers calling themselves Alpha Four is behind the plot to stir up trouble between the United States and Russia and China.For most of the book Taggart has to try and prove that the man in the Oval Office isn't the man elected by the people. Of course Alpha Four isn't about to let Taggart just waltz in and find this out, so Taggart has to kill several henchmen, even managing to get a few of the members of Alpha Four themselves.
Eventually Taggart discovers that the President is an impostor *spoilers ahead* and assassinates him.
I'm rather enjoying the Taggart books. Each conspiracy is different and delivers the thrills.
