This novel was an interesting look at how America's head of state, and our allies, react to a crisis or disaster.  Though it is a fiction, it isn't difficult to see how it could easily be something turned real.  It's as if the fiction is based on the fact of the world as it is today.As the title relates, The President of the U.S. gets quite the rude awakening when a nuclear bomb goes off in Detroit.  As our government scrambles to find out who is responsible and maintain control of the situation.  This daunting task is made more hectic by the fact that Our President has only been president nearly 18 hours.  The bomb isn't the only threat, however.  There is also an attack made on our finances, and the new President must use all his resources to find culprits.  He also encounters a former love interest and attempts to rekindle that old flame in the midst of all world around him seeking his answers. Finding out who was behind this was pretty funny to me( in an 'oh, of course, who else' way), but also a bit scary to think about.  It all made a certain sense though, this book is worth checking out.
