Day of the Delphi (2011)
“Two more had joined the inner circle composed of the President, his chief of staff Charlie Byrne, and FBI director Ben Samuelson.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Trevor Cantrell had been another of the Presidents’ key appointees after an exhaustive and difficult search.
