In Washington the two party system lies in shambles and the nation's first Third Party President is about to kick-off his re-election campaign. But his untimely, mysterious death leaves the country's fate in the hands of his charismatic but inexperienced Vice-President, Carol Gray - the perfect pretext for Chinese Defense Minister Mai Bei's bold stratagem to make his country energy self-sufficient and wrest hegemony in the Pacific from the US. Madame President is the story of Gray's battle against an international plot whose tentacles span two continents and reach deep into the heart of Congress and the Cabinet. For Mai Bei aims for nothing less than co-opting the American government itself and installing his puppet in the White House. Assassination, murder, seduction, betrayal, blackmail - her enemies will stop at nothing. Against them stand Gray's own personal courage and the cunning of her advisors who must expose their enemies before being destroyed by them. Beneath the roar of the political machine lies the story of how men and women retain or lose their humanity in the brutal arena of power. Madame President captures the personal struggles of one extraordinary woman and the man she comes to love in this true to life account of what could easily be tomorrow's reality.

<p>China, 1944. Tormented, enigmatic Su Li, saved as a foundling by mysterious tigers, reared by a legendary Shaolin Master, then sent away as an outcast, has reluctantly raised her adopted son and become a healer and fearsome protector to local villagers from the Japanese. Disguised as a man in a land hostile to any woman living alone, she lives for one reason: to return to her beloved Master. But her precarious existence is shattered by the unexpected arrival of a foreign soldier. Lt. James Ellison, pilot for the US Army Air Force, is haunted by the memory of marauding Japanese soldiers murdering his missionary father and kidnapping his mother five years earlier in China. With only a slim hope to rescue her, he parachutes close to enemy lines where he crosses paths with the inscrutable woman who will change his life. His appeal for her aid creates an uneasy alliance that takes them across war-torn China in a tale of danger, love, forgiveness and self-discovery.</p>
