A new Kennedy has been elected president. A man who has inherited all the good looks, wealth, and youthful idealism of his famous uncles. He is Francis Xavier Kennedy -- and suddenly the old dream of Camelot once again seems possible. But the energetic new president is also haunted by the darker side of the Kennedy legacy -- a legacy of tragedy even the best intentions may be powerless to avert. Now the horrifying assassination of a great world leader and kidnapping of the president's daughter by terrorists have launched President Kennedy on a desperate course that could end in disaster -- unless he is stopped.
