It's November 2019, and another U.S. presidential election season approaches. But this isn't an election like any other. Olivia Allen—brilliant, beautiful, but suffering from a psychological affliction that makes her feel unworthy—signs onto the Democratic presidential ticket, unaware of powerful forces that seek either to control her or destroy her. Her opponents are Frank Kenneth Stein, a billionaire who would rather be forthright than President, and Quentin Kirby, the Republican vice president, whose only passion is personal power. Their bruising rivalry unfolds against a backdrop of national crises. China dumps U.S. Treasury bonds. Iran threatens nuclear attack. Hyperinflation looms and bloody riots sweep the country. But for Olivia Allen, the greatest perils lie in the corridors of Washington power, as she finds herself a mere pawn in a deadly game of entrapment, blackmail, and assassination. How can she—or the country she loves—possibly survive? If politics interests you, this book is for you. If you are disgusted by politics, read this book—it will enlighten you as to the reasons for your disenchantment. “I was very impressed with the structure and pace of this novel. I thought it told a great story—and being a political editor and politics junkie myself, I loved the way that all the various threads interconnected. The tension built well, the pacing was good, and the events were believable within the context of the theme” Jon Van Zile, Writing for Authors “This is a blockbuster of a book, packed full of twists and turns, and solid in its exposition of the hidden motivations of politicians and bureaucrats. It is steady in its pace, well-written and should cement Kolhatkar's place as an original writer” Liberty Australia “This book is a fantastic read. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. While the plot is detailed and credible, it makes for an easy read for a political novice. There are parts of the book that, had it been a movie, would have had you sitting at the edge of your seat” Tanu Thomas, Indus Age columnist “This is a captivating novel that unmasks the unsavoury and intrigue-filled side of presidential politics. The author teases out the lives of the main protagonists in ways that are quite engaging; so is his well-informed and fine-tuned description of the financial world and its shenanigans. The reader is driven to read on to find out how they all unravel” Chitra Sudarshan, columnist, Indian Link Magazine
