It was followed in 2002 by First Shot with Hemingway returning.
The Secret Service attempt to prevent an elaborately plotted assassination attempt on the President.
Secret Service Agent Alex McGregor is charged with protecting President Jonathan Hayes who is facing problems with a powerful group represented by his Vice-President of the United States, and entrepreneur Senator Jack "J.P." Hunter who helped him win the election. Alex's fiancée Grant Coleman is now close friends with the President after helping save Jess' life after the kidnapping, and intends to marry Alex.
The conspirators intend to assassinate the President while in Seattle to inaugurate the cable wire transportation Skytran and they hire professional killer/seductress Nina Stahl and her hacker brother Evan.
With part of the Secret Service compromised and serving the purposes of the Vice-President, Alex faces difficulties protecting the President.
Quentin Tarantino got the idea to cast Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill after seeing First Target on cable television.[1]
