![Dr. Who - Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. [Blu-ray]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81sGxoAM1RL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Come Nineveh, Come Tyre (CNCT) is the fifth entry in Allen Drury's six-volume "Advise and Consent" series. CNCT and Drury's next book, Promise of Joy, are alternative endings to the series. They both pick up where Preserve and Protect ended, but in CNCT Ted Jason becomes President, while in Promise of Joy, Orrin Knox becomes President.
Much like the first half of Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here, CNCT narrates how the U.S. could start down the road toward becoming a totalitarian state, although Drury uses a different mechanism. The action is gripping and (for the most part) plausible, especially after seeing evidence these days that large numbers of Americans question the value of freedom of speech.
I have to say that I was disappointed by Drury's absurd portrayal of a Supreme Court hearing. He handled a similar situation perfectly in Preserve and Protect, but for some reason, when writing CNCT, he went off the rails in terms of realism. Aside from this one major flaw, CNCT is in many ways the most powerful (and depressing) book in the series.
