What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
       Thomas Jefferson

About the book:

Steve Jordon survives a fall of thousands of feet from an airplane. Media coverage of his miraculous survival leads to a series of events that result in his being asked to run for president of the United States.  Although the “People’s Party” is well organized and financed, it seems doomed to failure until a car bomb, intended for Steve, kills two of his children. The nation rises up in anger and sympathy to provide money and volunteers for his campaign. When he begins to challenge the Democrats and Republicans for votes, dirty politics come into play. Steve is accused of being part of a militia group and having his own children killed to further his campaign.

The militia, led by Vietnam veteran Colonel Webster, believes Thomas Jefferson is right and the only way to get attention is through violence. “It took violence to get equal rights for the black man and it will take violence for the common man to have a voice in government equal to that of big money interests.”

Steve struggles to restore his family, continue the campaign and prevent the militia from attacking Washington. A terrible blow to Steve’s dream of becoming president comes from a completely unsuspected source and threatens to destroy the love of his wife and remaining daughter.

Foot Note: This book is fiction. However, the author raises issues about our government that are real and that readers will relate to. It is a great book to stimulate discussion and controversy in a book club.

A reader wrote: The book became such a commanding curiosity about what happens next, I stayed up till all hours and finished it in three days. Whatta story. I loved it. Now, how about a sequel?    Joaniemac
