Balance of Power Low Price

When pirates hijack the world's fastest merchant ship in a ruthless plan to spark an international incident, the attack provokes a constitutional crisis and threatens to split the U.S. government down the middle.

Jim Dillon, special assistant to the Speaker of the House, discovers a long forgotten clause in the Constitution that allows Congress to take military action without presidential approval, and his ambitious boss sees an opportunity to humiliate his rival in the Oval Office. The case moves swiftly toward the Supreme Court, while over in the Pacific, a rogue U.S. Navy battle group races toward a deadly rendezvous with the terrorists.

Flashing between the clash in Washington and the approaching battle in the Pacific, Balance of Power blends political battles, legal skirmishes, and naval warfare into action-filled blockbuster entertainment.
