For those of who don't know, Archer has re-released this book as the third and final installment in the Kane and Abel trilogy. While it does have a good and exciting plot, it fails to live up to Kane and Abel and The Prodigal Daughter. If you read this book stand alone, you will enjoy it. However, if you read this book as part of the trilogy, you will come away slightly disappointed. Florentyna is really a minor character in the book and the only really new piece of information that we learn about her is that she defeated a former New York congressman (Jack Kemp?) in 1996 to win election in her own right. I wish that Archer had left "Shall we tell the President" alone and written a completely different book as the third installment.

The year is 1983. Edward Kennedy, brother of John and Robert, is president of the United States. He is worried solely about passing a tough new Gun Control Bill through the senate to aid his chances for reelection. FBI Special Agent Mark Andrews, on the other hand, is worried solely about keeping President Kennedy alive. A conspiracy to assassinate the president in seven days time on the steps of the Capital building has been uncovered but the details are sketchy. The first night Agent Andrews, his partner and his field boss go about uncovering the deadly plot. By next morning, only Andrews remains alive. And the clock on the President's life is ticking. Archer once again shows his brilliance in this highly realistic, ironic, suspenseful thriller. Much shorter than his other epics, the reader gets a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the life of an FBI agent, the president and the men trying to kill him. At times the political issue involved makes reading a bit slow but overall "President" is an entertaining page-turner with a "killer" ending.

This started out as Jeffrey Archer's second published novel, quite a few years ago, but has now been updated for more current politics. Try to find the original version, because it is vintage early Archer. In the original version, the novel begins just after Ed Kennedy is sworn in as president after Jimmy Carter. It was a rough time in American history, and Archer weaves the mood of the times into the story. The plot revolves around a junior FBI agent's investigation into an assassination attempt against the new president. He juggles a new relationship with the daughter of a senator who just happens to be a prime suspect in the conspiracy. Archer demonstrates his US political expertise here, despite being an Englishman. This novel goes behind the scenes of Washington DC, though not nearly to the extent his later novel, First Among Equals, does in London's Parliament. My only real complaint with the novel is its lack of major plot twists which I've come to expect from Archer's works. Pretty straight forward story. If you enjoy Archer's works, try to locate a copy of this one too.
