The 101st Senator - Paperback

Paula Means, the hero of Vigilante Politics, is returning.

"Oh Lord, so the chairman's AWOL. We have a clueless staff director running the Appropriations Committee. A bunch of terrorists are about to unleash a deadly biological weapon that could destroy us all, and the White House is in denial."

"That's about the sound of it. Hey, Paula, welcome back."

Paula Means-Hayes is back in Washington serving once again as the clerk of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, but the world and politics have changed in the seven years since her last stint in DC. At the request of her former boss, she meets with an Israeli who tells her a chilling tale about an impending deadly pandemic. With her committee chairman incapacitated and the White House refusing to listen, it falls on Paula to avert a catastrophe that could destroy the world.
