President Walker
The larger-than-life president who walks into the lion’s den to cut the deal himself.
Christopher Walker is the sitting President of the United States, a larger-than-life dealmaker with an ego to match the office and, buried under the bluster, a genuinely shrewd mind. When the world lurches toward nuclear war, Walker does the unthinkable: he flies to the enemy’s capital to negotiate face to face, certain he can talk his way through anything. He is vain, explosive, and impossible to manage, the kind of man who fires generals mid-sentence and means it. But underestimate him and you miss the operator underneath, a negotiator who has spent a lifetime being counted out and coming back. Cornered is exactly where he is most dangerous.
“But a president never carries a weapon. He only orders them fired.”
