After thirty days, the kidnapped president of the United States and her husband rise out of a dark underworld into a vast crowd of astonished, cheering Londoners. Cora Munroe and her husband, Paul, return to Washington to ride-out the last gasps of the American Empire while a new civilization rises on its rubble. Betrayed by those closest to her, Cora will prove to be America's last president. She and the country she loves are destroyed by a powerful, secret oligarchy, led by its leader, Peter Benevolus, an autistic genius. 'The Summit of Us' is Peter's secret testimony to the badly outwitted FBI, soon to fall under his control.
