It’s inauguration eve. The nation sleeps. The sitting president—just hours from peacefully transferring power—is dead. And according to the Presidential Succession Act, one individual is next in line. They didn’t run for president. They didn’t ask for this. But for the next nine hours, they are the most powerful person on the planet. But there’s a twist that makes The Nine-Hour President unlike any political thriller you’ve ever read.
True to the Bull Moose style, this isn’t just a story of explosive urgency. It’s also a deeply emotional and character-driven tale about the relationships that shape leaders long before they step onto the world stage.

The debut novel in the series – What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose – is a 5x award-winner. It had received critical acclaim from bestselling author Alan R. Warren and Patrick Murphy, former Congressman and 32nd Under Secretary of the Army.
