''Mark Coffin U.S.S.'' is a 1979 political novel by Allen Drury which follows the titular young U.S. Senator as he navigates Washington politics. It is set in a different fictional timeline from Drury's 1959 novel ''Advise and Consent'', which earned him a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pulitzer Prize Winners: Fiction (1948-present) )〕 The novel was out of print for several years until WordFire Press reissued it in paperback and e-book formats in 2014. ==Plot summary== Young, idealistic Mark Coffin wins a surprise, upset election victory, turning the 30-year-old Stanford University professor into the junior senator from California. Additionally, in the concurrent presidential election, his party's presidential candidate rides Mark's coattails to corral California's electoral votes and the White House. Mark is not a total political neophyte; his father-in-law is Jim Elrod, the powerful senior senator from North Carolina, and Mark's father owns one of the largest newspapers in the state. Mark goes to Washington amid the glare of the media spotlight, and reporters Bill Adams, Chuck Dangerfield and Lisette Greyson take an interest in his career from the start, praising him as one of the most idealistic and promising senators to hit town in decades. Mark's hopes of sitting on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are damaged when he takes strong positions on two hot button issues: his father-in-law's bill to add ten billion dollars to the defense appropriation, to be used to try to catch up with the Soviets; and the nomination of Charlie Macklin, the tough D.A. of Los Angeles County, to be Attorney General. Mark leads other junior senators in bucking the Washington establishment on these two issues; these so-called "Young Turks" include Rick Duclos of Vermont, who has an eye for the ladies and a teenage son, and Bob Templeton of Colorado, who recently lost his family in a plane accident. When Mark will not soften his opposition, he loses the committee assignment to Duclos. Drunk and depressed over being kept off the Foreign Relations Committee, Mark falls into bed with Lisette, who has been angling for a romantic relationship with him despite the fact that he is married. Chuck Dangerfield knows of the affair and is determined to help Mark in any way he can to keep the story quiet. Inevitably, the truth comes out, and Mark's reputation is damaged. His marriage is threatened, but his wife, knowing what is expected of political spouses, backs him up publicly while slowly reconciling privately. Macklin tries to make political capital of the scandal, but overplays his hand, offending more senators than he persuades, and his nomination is narrowly defeated. Mark, however, loses on the appropriation issue, but his father-in-law is careful to allow him to save face. From there, it is made clear that Mark enjoys a long political career. ==Series== Later Drury books in the same timeline are ''The Hill of Summer'' (1981) and ''The Roads of Earth'' (1984), a two-part series dealing with a major crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Additionally, in the concurrent presidential election, his party's presidential candidate rides Mark's coattails to corral California's electoral votes and the White House. Mark is not a total political neophyte; his father-in-law is Jim Elrod, the powerful senior senator from North Carolina, and Mark's father owns one of the largest newspapers in the state. Mark goes to Washington amid the glare of the media spotlight, and reporters Bill Adams, Chuck Dangerfield and Lisette Greyson take an interest in his career from the start, praising him as one of the most idealistic and promising senators to hit town in decades.Mark's hopes of sitting on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are damaged when he takes strong positions on two hot button issues: his father-in-law's bill to add ten billion dollars to the defense appropriation, to be used to try to catch up with the Soviets; and the nomination of Charlie Macklin, the tough D.A. of Los Angeles County, to be Attorney General. Mark leads other junior senators in bucking the Washington establishment on these two issues; these so-called "Young Turks" include Rick Duclos of Vermont, who has an eye for the ladies and a teenage son, and Bob Templeton of Colorado, who recently lost his family in a plane accident. When Mark will not soften his opposition, he loses the committee assignment to Duclos.Drunk and depressed over being kept off the Foreign Relations Committee, Mark falls into bed with Lisette, who has been angling for a romantic relationship with him despite the fact that he is married. Chuck Dangerfield knows of the affair and is determined to help Mark in any way he can to keep the story quiet. Inevitably, the truth comes out, and Mark's reputation is damaged. His marriage is threatened, but his wife, knowing what is expected of political spouses, backs him up publicly while slowly reconciling privately. Macklin tries to make political capital of the scandal, but overplays his hand, offending more senators than he persuades, and his nomination is narrowly defeated. Mark, however, loses on the appropriation issue, but his father-in-law is careful to allow him to save face. From there, it is made clear that Mark enjoys a long political career.==Series==The Hill of Summer and 'The Roads of Earth -->Later Drury books in the same timeline are '''''The Hill of Summer''''' (1981) and '''''The Roads of Earth''''' (1984), a two-part series dealing with a major crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Mark is not a total political neophyte; his father-in-law is Jim Elrod, the powerful senior senator from North Carolina, and Mark's father owns one of the largest newspapers in the state. Mark goes to Washington amid the glare of the media spotlight, and reporters Bill Adams, Chuck Dangerfield and Lisette Greyson take an interest in his career from the start, praising him as one of the most idealistic and promising senators to hit town in decades.Mark's hopes of sitting on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are damaged when he takes strong positions on two hot button issues: his father-in-law's bill to add ten billion dollars to the defense appropriation, to be used to try to catch up with the Soviets; and the nomination of Charlie Macklin, the tough D.A. of Los Angeles County, to be Attorney General. Mark leads other junior senators in bucking the Washington establishment on these two issues; these so-called "Young Turks" include Rick Duclos of Vermont, who has an eye for the ladies and a teenage son, and Bob Templeton of Colorado, who recently lost his family in a plane accident. When Mark will not soften his opposition, he loses the committee assignment to Duclos.Drunk and depressed over being kept off the Foreign Relations Committee, Mark falls into bed with Lisette, who has been angling for a romantic relationship with him despite the fact that he is married. Chuck Dangerfield knows of the affair and is determined to help Mark in any way he can to keep the story quiet. Inevitably, the truth comes out, and Mark's reputation is damaged. His marriage is threatened, but his wife, knowing what is expected of political spouses, backs him up publicly while slowly reconciling privately. Macklin tries to make political capital of the scandal, but overplays his hand, offending more senators than he persuades, and his nomination is narrowly defeated. Mark, however, loses on the appropriation issue, but his father-in-law is careful to allow him to save face. From there, it is made clear that Mark enjoys a long political career.==Series==The Hill of Summer and 'The Roads of Earth -->Later Drury books in the same timeline are '''''The Hill of Summer''''' (1981) and '''''The Roads of Earth''''' (1984), a two-part series dealing with a major crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union.
