It happens with startling swiftness and violence. An armed cadre seizes state control. Fortunately, a coup d'etat can't happen in America. Or can it? At odds are a popular general and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and a President with a low public approval rating. At stake is the survival of the Republic. Bitter over a disarmament treaty, the general masterminds a coup timed to overlap a supposed dry run troop mobilisation. But a vigilant colonel uncovers the scheme and alerts the Oval Office. There may not be time to derail a takeover. What's certain is that the tension is wound as tightly as a clock - one ticking off seven fateful days.
