Five bombs upend the foundation of the American government.
Sturka is an artist with explosives. A sturdy man approaching middle age, he learned his trade on the darkest battlefields of the 20th century Indochina, Palestine, Guyana, Biafra, and the fetid jungles of South America, where he fought alongside Che Guevera but was quick enough not to die with him. He doesn't know where his new employers hail from; he only knows how well they pay. Today he packs plastic explosives into the false bottoms of three handbags and two suitcases, to be left at strategic locations around Washington, D. C.
But this is no ordinary caf bombing. Today Sturka targets the men at the top of the American government. The attack causes a crisis of succession, the likes of which America has never seen. If the right man doesn't take charge quickly, the country will tear itself apart.

I read the review and bought the book. It started wonderful and became dull and tedious once the opening excitement ended. Its like going down a slide and landing in a pile of dog poop. It doesn't kill you but it does stink. I really wanted to like it. Its an early effort by Garfield, later books are better reads.Product details

Line of Succession (Audible Audio Edition) Brian Garfield J D Jackson Audible Studios Books Reviews
This book, written about thirty years ago, is an action-adventure novel dealing with issues of presidential succession and disability. The book raises issues that could easily arise today, probably (but not necessarily) in a less dramatic context. The vice-president and speaker are killed in a terrorist attack, the president-elect is kidnapped then killed, and the president pro tem is politically unacceptable to both political parties, so the defeated outgoing president schemes to amend the Presidential Succession Act so that he can stay in office instead of handing over power. (The book sidesteps a potential problem with the twenty-second amendment because the outgoing president has served only one term.) The action is plausible, and the author correctly applies the relevant constitutional and legal provisions without letting them get in the story's way. A good, fast, provocative read that, even after thirty years, requires little suspension of disbelief.
