Description:
Most people, myself included, thought Allen Drury's Advise and Consent to be a one-off book. A classic, yes, but one of a kind. I read it some forty years ago, and was happy to find an electronic copy--then I found it was the first book of a series! Needless to say, I obtained the other five books.

Advise and Consent is available as a single on this site. This upload contains the other five books in the series.

02 - A Shade of Difference: [This is] a novel of the United Nations and the racial friction that could spark a worldwide powderkeg. International tensions rise as ambassadors and politicians scheme, using the independence of a small African nation as the focal point for hidden agendas. A cascade of events begun in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations could lead to the weakening of the United States, the loss of the Panama Canal, and a possible civil war. Allen Drury paints a vivid and laser-accurate portrait of Washington and international politics, from top secret conferences, to elite cocktail parties, club luncheon rooms, and the private offices of the key players in government.

03 - Capable of Honor: It is one of the most fundamental questions facing America today: How justifiably, or irresponsibly, do the volatile and unbiased American media—press, television and radio—attempt to interfere with, and control, the political process and the foreign policy of the nation? In a hotly fought Presidential primary, the news media fractures along ideological lines, supporting and distorting the candidates’ records, manipulating the news rather than covering it.
A compelling novel, it shines a harsh and revealing spotlight on how the media shapes the news, guides public opinion, creates policy—and tries to shape history itself.

04 - Preserve and Protect: The United States is thrown into chaos as the President is killed in a plane crash shortly after securing his party’s nomination in a hotly contested race for re-election. As suspicions are cast upon the circumstances of the place crash, the incumbent party quickly convenes to nominate a candidate in a storm of domestic and international chaos.
Against the backdrop of a rich cast of characters, the motivations and drives of each candidate and player help shape the future of the nation and the world. Allen Drury brings to a climax the epic saga begun with Advise and Consent-—and ends with one of the greatest cliffhangers in all of political fiction.

05 - Come Nineveh, Come Tyre: The Presidency of Edward M. Jason: At the end of the previous novel, Allen Drury left his readers with one of the greatest cliffhangers of all time. After an assassin’s bullet rings out, we are left to wonder who was killed--the liberal Vice President Ted Jason, or staunch conservative presidential candidate Orrin Knox? The answer to that question was so large that Drury had to write two novels, one exploring the full ramifications of each outcome.
In Come Nineveh, Come Tyre, China and the Soviet Union are waiting and watching for any sign of weakness from the untried Ted Jason, survivor of the assassination attempt that took the life of Orrin Knox and catapulted Jason into the Presidency. Ted Jason has been thrust into this position of powe--is he up to the challenge of leadership in such a time of crisis? Or will he bend too far toward appeasement, at the cost of freedom around the world?
Looking at the stakes for the United States against the backdrop of war, politics, and scandal, President Jason must play winner-take-all in this game of politics.

06 - The Promise of Joy: The Presidency of Orrin Knox: With his Vice President, Ted Jason, and his wife, Beth Knox, dead at the hands of an assassin, newly-elected President Orrin Knox contends with a game of one-upmanship between the Soviet Union and China. The United States, guided by Knox’s inflexible will, begins to assist rebels seeking to break away from their Communist overlords, despite mounting pressure from the international community and within the U.S.
When nuclear war breaks out between Russia and China, President Orrin Knox, aided and opposed by the media, senators, congressmen, cabinet officials, ambassadors, and the people, must act to safeguard peace and democracy in America and the entire world.
