REAL POWER IS THAT WHICH IS EXERCISED BEHIND THE SCENES AND BEYOND SCRUTINY.

The last decade of the millennium. Communism is gone, only to be replaced by the tyranny of a new breed of robber barons.

An assassin's bullet leaves Temple, former American president, unable to communicate. Lilah, Temple's chosen ruler for the oil empire he built, is accused of treason and is in hiding from every dictator she ever rubbed the wrong way, every terrorist group she outmaneuvered.

The clout of the Kingsleys now extends throughout the world. No matter who occupies the White House, Godwin Kingsley calls the shots. The one man who could stop Godwin is about to walk into a trap, framed for murders he didn't commit.

From a graveyard in Brooklyn to the beaches of Goa, from strippers with secrets to dirty deals with the mob, The Indian Defense continues the saga of the Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses as they battle in the shadows of American politics.
