Lady Liberty Summary
| The fate of a country lies in one woman?s hands...U.S. Vice President Sybil Stone, code-named Lady Liberty, has proven she can hold her own against some of the world?s most influential power brokers. But now, negotiating a vital peace agreement in Geneva, Switzerland, Sybil receives an urgent message calling her back to American soil.In seventy-two hours disaster will strike, catapulting the United States into a war that will cost millions of lives.

The main lobby was littered with guests, many of whom had been identified as press and more who had not been identified. The hotel was far too public, in Jonathan's opinion, but it had been the one place Peris and Abdan's leaders had agreed to meet, and when the president of the last superpower in the world employed you and he said go, you went or you resigned. Since Jonathan hadn't been ready to resign, he'd gone.
