The three Michael Dobbs books with FU as the central figure are titled "House of Cards", "To Play the King", and "The Final Cut". The first two seasons covered the first two books. There should be enough materials for a third and possibly fourth season, assuming Netflix and the talent involved are all on board to bring it to a conclusion.

Great season. But I do feel rushed to watch all the episodes to avoid being hit by the spoilers everywhere. Can't follow anybody on twitter while watching it.

Finished the season, great soapy stuff. Great performances all around.
Robin Wright can turn your blood ice cold with just a look. I'd like to see more recognition for Michael Kelly (Doug Stamper)
I was shocked by (ep 11)
even more than I was by the (ep 1)
Now that (ep 13)

Elizabeth Norment, 'House of Cards' Actress, Dies at 61
9:13 AM PST 10/28/2014 by Mike Barnes
Elizabeth Norment, the veteran actress who played the loyal executive secretary to Kevin Spacey’s wicked politician Frank Underwood on House of Cards, has died. She was 61.
Norment, who appeared as Nancy Kaufberger on the Netflix series, died Oct. 13 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, her sister, Kate, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Her character worked for Underwood from the time he was a member of the House of Representatives from South Carolina through his recent career upturns.
"Everyone at House of Cards is deeply saddened by Elizabeth’s passing. She was a talented actress, a warm soul and a good friend to us all," series showrunner Beau Willimon said in a statement.
“Elizabeth Norment was a talented actress with a beautiful spirit who touched the entire House of Cards family,” execs at MRC, the production company behind the show, added.
Norment also played Judge Arlene Brewer on three episodes over a six-year span on Law & Order and appeared in guest roles on such shows as St. Elsewhere, Party of Five, ER, Mad About You and Blue Bloods.
Earlier, she showed up on the Steven Bochco series L.A. Law, Hooperman and Doogie Howser, M.D.
Norment had small roles in the films The Woman in Red (1984), Runaway (1984) and Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1997) and played Eunice Kennedy in the 1985 CBS miniseries Robert Kennedy and His Times.
A native of Washington, D.C., whose father was an administrator in the CIA, Norment received a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama in 1979 and joined Robert Brustein’s American Repertory Theatre as a founding member.
She headed to Southern California in 1983 to play an ingenue opposite Peter Ustinov in Beethoven's Tenth at the Ahmanson Theatre.
In 1990, Norment’s career took off after she starred as Rosalind and Beatrice, respectively, in As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing at the Grove Shakespeare Festival in Garden Grove, Calif.
“A lot of people in the business either saw them or heard about [those performances],” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1991 as she prepared to play Portia in another Shakespeare classic, The Merchant of Venice. “I’ve been working steadily ever since.”
In addition to her sister, survivors include her mother, Nancy; her other sisters, Sarah and Martha; her brother, Clarence; and six nieces and nephews.

We finally finished S2 last night. I know at this point most of you are done with season 3.
I've really struggled to keep watching. Sure the hour still flies by, bit there is a lot of unbelievable scenes and actions by characters to the point it annoys me to the point I feel like characters are twirling mustaches.
A shame because there were a lot of good moments in season 1. You really got the sense of how Frank could wield his skills to get outcomes in the House. Now he just makes a suggestion and people follow his master plan.
I hope for season 3

Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that your hopes don't exactly come true. Though he does sort of meet his match with the show's version of Vladimir Putin.
Overall S3 was hugely disappointing and a good step down from the previous seasons. Basically, Frank got himself the presidency, and now he's got nowhere else to go. It's like a dog catching the car he was racing after - now what? Apparently, not much.

If it annoys you in season 2, you won't make it two episodes into season 3 before you throw in the towel. I wouldn't say S3 is just a step down, I'd say its out right bad.
