It is the third sequel to ''Advise and Consent'', for which Drury was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1960,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pulitzer Prize Winners: Fiction (1948-present) )〕 and is followed by two alternate sequels of its own, ''Come Nineveh, Come Tyre'' (1973) and ''The Promise of Joy'' (1975). ''Advise and Consent'' and its sequels had been out of print for almost 15 years until WordFire Press reissued them in paperback and e-book format in 2014. ==Plot== After winning his party's nomination in ''Capable of Honor'', newly elected U.S. President Harley Hudson dies in a suspicious plane crash. William Abbott, the Speaker of the House, is reluctantly elevated to the Presidency. The Majority Party immediately convenes its National Committee, torn between the supporters of California Governor Ted Jason and those of Secretary of State and former Illinois Senator Orrin Knox. Eventually Knox defeats Jason, but names Jason as his vice presidential nominee. At the conclusion of the novel, a gunman appears and opens fire on the two candidates and their wives.
