Madam President

Conflict is brewing on the other side of the world as China and Russia grit their teeth at one another, and President Abigail Cass Steele must decide the fate of the United States. "Madam President and the Admiral" is a delightful mix of genres, acting as both a political and a military thriller; as President Cass faces the personal element of having to send the man she loves to a potential death, an element of romance is stirred in. "Madam President and the Admiral" is highly recommended for community library romance collections and for anyone who enjoys a mix of genre.

Madam President and the Admiral is just the right book at the right time. After America's ignominy of having a president blunder us into a senseless war with no idea of how to get out, Carl Nelson gives us a good president and a good war. Abigail Cass Steele, the Madam President, has to take react after China shoots down a couple of our planes in international waters. Her first act is to recall her boy friend and lover to active duty. He is given one more star than any other flag or general officer and put in charge of everything that floats in the Pacific. As an old sailor myself I enjoyed the book from start to finish, especially the part where Abigale fired an Army general. I suggest this book to all who are tired of the tedious campaign for the presidency. It's nice to read of a president who knows how to do things right, even if it is fiction.
