Review Pretty darn good...the real appeal of the novel, apart from a fuel tankers worth of political score-settling, is that this is as close as youll get to being in the White House Situation Room with a secretary of state. * The Times *Tightly plotted tale of political intrigue...[Clinton and Penny are] a match made in heaven...

The real key to "State of Terror," though, is its secret weapon: female friendship.

Honestly, its not a fair fight. * Washington Post *The thriller follows the journey of new secretary of state and main character, Ellen Adams....
