State of the Union Walt Branam

Thomas Wolfe, Assistant Director of the FBI, has learned a secret organization of billionaires intends to detonate an atomic bomb during the president's State of the Union Address and take over the United States. They're called the Order, and they have infiltrated the government and the media as part of a plan that has been in the making for years. Tom is told to drop the case. He is then suspended and arrested but promptly escapes. He is branded a conspiracy nut and national fugitive, so he can no longer depend on using traditional methods for his investigation. He needs outside help, and this includes his brother John, who was placed in a maximum-security prison after trying to expose the Order. John might hold the key to stopping the Order, so Tom has to find a way to free his brother by breaking into a secure Homeland Security facility. Tom now travels a bizarre path where old friends become mortal enemies. The clock is ticking, especially as the Order hires assassins to kill Tom and his allies. The president must be saved, and with him, America, but how far is Tom willing to go to stop a nuclear blast?
