It allows him to spend more time with his girlfriend, Veronica Hammond, an archaeologist and the daughter of the incoming vice president. At an awards ceremony honoring Veronica's efforts, South African mercenaries attack her, shockingly altering Clayton's otherwise workable new routine. Following this attempt on Veronica's life, Clayton is entangled in a treacherous web of deceit, lies, and hazardous government secrets. Clayton faces surprising adversaries and dubious alliances as he approaches the truth. Veronica is the one person Clayton can always count on while facing foes at every step. However, he confronts an unattainable love or nation as the danger directed at her also turns against him.
