Presidential Politics Is Anything But Boring in Thrilling New Sequel, 'Beltway Upheaval'
(PRWEB) October 17, 2016 -- The highly anticipated sequel to the novel "Patriotic Gamble" has arrived. In "Beltway Upheaval," President George Granger ascended to the presidency under suspicious circumstances. His predecessor was chosen by the House of Representatives in a contingent election. Immediately after taking the oath, the president resigns on Inauguration Day and VP Granger is sworn in before a stunned public.
Early in his first term, charges resurface that Granger concealed the mental health issues of the former president. Additionally, Granger issues a controversial Executive Order reducing government services to ward off an economic depression. His political rival, Speaker of the House Bob Allcott, despises Granger and condemns his actions, even as he influences the House to impeach the president.
As Granger’s fate hangs in the balance during the Senate’s impeachment trial, his anxious Vice-President Joan Mulligan waits in the wings. Is truth stranger than fiction, or will this fictional presidency end in disaster? Anything seems possible in politics these days!
Praise for "Patriotic Gamble":
“If Ken Gorman were to write a novel based on the installation of a washing machine, I would probably buy it (the book, that is). Take 'Patriotic Gamble,' Mr. Gorman’s fourth novel, for example: You suspect that the plot is going to conclude on an upbeat note, but you can’t quite figure out how it is going to get there until it does.” – Sam Heffner, 5-Star Amazon Review
“Delivers ‘West Wing’ style action, full of breathless updates and sharp twists.” – Kirkus Reviews
