An extensive search and rescue effort will soon be underway.

The president's plane changes course, heading now to a secure military installation in Florida. Then the unthinkable happens.

Brian Sadler, a wealthy adventurer and the missing President's closest friend, becomes part of the mission to uncover a Description with worldwide implications. What could possibly get worse?
