Four ambitious men enter Parliament, but only one can seize the ultimate prize—who will sacrifice everything to become Prime Minister?

In First Among Equals, Jeffrey Archer takes readers behind the closed doors of Westminster to witness the high-stakes game of British politics. Beginning in the 1960s, the novel follows the careers of four new MPs: a Scottish aristocrat, a brilliant lawyer, a self-made businessman, and a fiercely principled labor organizer.

Over the course of three turbulent decades, their lives intertwine as they vie for power, navigating scandals, shifting alliances, and personal tragedies. With the Prime Minister's office as the ultimate goal, Archer weaves a compelling tale of ambition and rivalry, asking just how much these men are willing to pay for the privilege of leading their country.
