The Pinnacle is the conclusion to the five-book series on the child prodigy, Jacob Cahill, who was raised in China by Buddhist monks, but forced to return to the U.S. as a teenager. Using his prodigious intellectual and athletic skills, he excels in school before deciding to join the Army to fight in Vietnam where heavy combat leaves him scarred for life despite a box full of metals earned during two tours in the country. After leaving the Army, he attends Stanford University where he earns a doctorate in physics before proceeding to start a software company which he leads to great success. Yet he is frustrated with the poor governance and incompetent politicians he must deal with which prompts him to decide to run for the highest office in the country, President of the United States. Against all odds he wins and book five tells the story of his massive campaign to turn the country around after the disappointing eight years of Barack Obama. His controversial policy prescriptions face heated opposition, yet he perseveres through his own frustrations and those of his family, friends, and colleagues. Read the exciting conclusion to the Jacob Cahill saga as he struggles mightily to right the ship of state.
