These days, he's enjoying life at sea with his fiancee-who also happens to be the daughter of the double-dealing vice president, Alexander Hammond. But for the most part, Clayton has made peace with his old nemesis. Then their ship, the NOAAS Surveyor, comes under attack. That same day in Miami, the Second Lady of the United States is assassinated. Hammond, who dodged the bullet meant for him, calls upon Clayton to help him hunt down the responsible party. Clayton wants nothing to do with the notorious vice president, who boasts a violent and capricious history. But with his fiancee's life in the balance, Clayton has no choice. He jumps back into the fray, where he'll face off with enemies new and old. And unbeknownst to Clayton, a deep-rooted enemy has been waiting in the shadows and has now set his sights on him.
