Rhea-17 Royally Terminated Rhea, Countess Ambras discovers her unusual relationships with many world leaders require her to be on de-facto security detail rather than dancing the night away at the Washington inaugural ball. The presence of an active and inimical MI-6 cell in DC leads her personal dance back to London where 'Europe's Darling' unearths the truth behind the democracy in the mother of parliaments, initiating a slight kerfuffle around Buckingham Palace and her Houses of Parliament. Rhea's life spins faster than a dancer on ice performing a triple as she and her girls discover themselves caught in dizzying political turmoil as a result of her earlier peremptory work in London. Flying borrowed aircraft from almost every European country, she's now being forced to protect both another nation and her new factories. These events in Rhea's life unfold around crashing currency and crunching nations, goodwill tours, and events in far off China, which take a general and several ordinary soldiers, elevating them beyond imagination as a stunned world simply looks on.
