The successor

President Jesse Wood has a mission for Christian Gillette: post-Communist Cuba. There are secret negotiations going on with senior capitalists in Cuba concerning the US and the President wants Gillette to handle it, but is clear that if the discussions ever came to light, the trail cannot lead back to the Oval Office. Seeing no option but to accept the dangerous mission, Gillette heads to Florida with best friend and bodyguard, Quentin Stiles, leaving his capable and alluring protégé Allison Wallace in charge of Everest. Though they are soon 1,000 miles apart, it turns out they are both in grave danger--and now they aren't around to help each other survive.

  • "Christian Gillette is sent by the United States President to handle secret negotiations with senior capitalists in Cuba, without implicating the Oval Office. Soon Christian and his protégé, Allison Wallace, 1000 miles away, are in grave danger."@en
  • "While still a high-finance guru at heart, Christian Gillette gradually has been turning his focus away from Everest Capital, his big-bucks private equity firm, in favor of politics. In his last adventure (The Power Broker, 2006), he contemplated running for vice-president, and here he is ensnared in political intrigue once again when his almost running mate, Jesse Wood (now the first African American president of the U.S.) enlists his help. Rumors of Castro's death may result in Cuba becoming the next addition to the global market, and Wood needs Gillette to lead the effort to secure America's part in that new prosperity. Meanwhile, back at Everest, Gillette's second banana, the beguiling, wealthy heiress (and top-notch rainmaker) Allison Wallace, is running the firm. Being separated from one another leaves both Wood and Wallace feeling vulnerable, each in different arenas."@en
