English Summary/英文概要： WINNER of nine national and international awards, including the 2010 Independent Book of the Year and Best Fiction at the Paris and New York Book Festivals. While observing the Presidential election in Romania, a Congressional staffer is kidnapped by Communist rebels and held captive in a remote area of the Carpathian Mountains. The quest for his safe return takes Congressman Richard Thompson to a dark side of international politics which no one dares talk about in the halls of Congress. In trying to save the life of the young American, Thompson must do things he thought impossible for him to imagine, let alone execute.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 九屆全國冠軍和國際獎項，包括2010年巴黎獨立圖書年度最佳小說和紐約書展的獲獎者。在觀察羅馬尼亞總統選舉時，由共產主義叛軍綁架了國會工作人員，並被囚禁在喀爾巴阡山脈的偏遠地區。設法找到人質安全返回，需要國會議員Richard Thompson利用國際舞臺中黑暗的政治勢力，沒有人敢在國會大廳討論這些事情。在試圖挽救年輕的美國人質時，Thompson必須做的，在他看來是不可想像的事情，更不用說去執行。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：“籠罩在美國的歷史和傳統下的，緊張而糾結的政治戲劇。故事是一個充實的，和引人注目的旅程。” --- J. A. ’Jack’ Kerly,《The Hundredth Man》（一百人）的作者
“我相信，這將是Rick Robinson連續第三個獲獎的書。他的寫作技巧和傾力打造的“你需要看到的內幕” ，展現出一部吸引力的小說，使閱者能夠端坐不動。” --- Don McNay,專欄作家，Huffington Post Contributor（赫芬頓郵報撰稿人）。
“我認為最好的敘述者，來自肯塔基州，而Rick Robinson就在其中。Robinson熟悉地方方言和在Beltway和Bluegrass的一個政治內幕。有誰知道任何關於肯塔基州的政治內幕 – Robinson知道 –那就是人們常說的奇幻人生。再一次，他精心設計了一場突發事件，（讀者）會欲罷不能，直到故事結尾，這是一部政治驚悚片。Manifest Destiny（昭昭天命）是他最好的一部作品。”--- Vicki Prichard,，艾美獎獲獎，記錄影片《Where the River Bends》（這條河所在）的編劇。Taut and tense political drama wrapped in American history and tradition. A solid and compelling journey. ---J. A. ’Jack’ Kerly, author The Hundredth Man
I m confident that this will be Rick Robinson’s third consecutive, award winning, book. His writing skill and lifetime as ’insider you need to see’ shine through with a riveting novel that keeps us on the edge of our seats. ---Don McNay, syndicated columnist and Huffington Post Contributor
I maintain that the best storytellers hail from Kentucky and Rick Robinson is among them. A political insider in the Beltway and the Bluegrass, Robinson masters the vernacular of both. Anyone who knows anything about Kentucky politics--and Robinson does--knows it’s often stranger than fiction. Once again, he has crafted a page-turning, can t-put-it-down-until-the-end, political thriller. Manifest Destiny is his best yet ---Vicki Prichard, scriptwriter, Emmy award-winning doucmentary, Where the River Bends
