Fiction would be just about everything she has ever written. But in this case, she actually attempted to write a fiction based on her perspective of what is fact. Her book (co-authored Louise Penny),'State of Terror', describes the hero Sec State navigating a terrorist plot, nuclear weapons, and a Trump-like President. She battles sexist comments from the males in the book but finds solidarity with the women. The terror plot surrounds the previous administration giving Afghanistan back to the Taliban.The villain is a Pakistani "merchant of death" who thinks AQ Khan didn't go far enough. The previous President as Madam Sec Madam Sec describes it works for profits from scheming with foreign governments. He has a palatial Florida estate. He has an alluring but "terrifying" personality. (Get it?)
“To be in his orbit was to experience something extraordinary. There was a pull, a promise of excitement. Of danger. Like juggling grenades. It was exhilarating. And terrifying. Even she could feel it.”
The incoming President is as dumb as a rock. In fact, all the male characters have shortcomings while the women in the story outsmart their male counterparts.
Well she will either get a Pulitzer for this or for her other work of fiction called 'What Happened' . The thing that both books have in common is that in neither book was the Sec State to blame .
