Political fiction lovers must-read book of 2024

Political factions threaten to make Congressional gridlock a permanent reality in America for the foreseeable future. One of the factors contributing to the Congressional gridlock is Senate Rule XXII and some controversial interpretations and reinterpretations of the rule in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

The Senate Deception by Michael Fedor is book .5 in the Bull Moose political fiction series. It’s a novella at 27,000 words, making it a fun, thrilling beach read or a great airport read.

The book begins on a stretch of mountainous interstate in rural Pennsylvania. Senator Jackson Piper is returning to Washington, DC from his home in Pittsburgh. It is the year 2039, and the moment for reform of the filibuster has arrived, says Senator Jackson Piper. Election 2038 has brought the largest class of freshmen to the Senate in decades. With so many fresh faces not yet entrenched in Washington’s ways, surely Piper can get Rule XXII reformed to return to a time when the filibuster meant actually speaking uninterrupted and holding the floor to prevent the Senate from closing debate.

But Jackson Piper has a secret. He is attempting to reform the most controversial rule in the U.S. Senate in less than 30 days, but he won’t tell his closest advisor, Ron Bender, the reason.

Piper’s national profile is on fire; there is talk he could be a White House contender. A deceptive plan is hatched to blackmail Piper into a floor fight likely to sink him. When his opponents think they have him beaten, Piper and his allies unlock a procedural showdown on the Senate floor that could change Congress and the nation. A complex mystery emerges about political intentions, connections, and deceptions in the Senate. A surprise ending has everyone guessing the implications for What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose, the first book in this series. The Senate Deception is the perfect prequel novella to get readers excited to read Bull Moose Book 1, which is set for release on March 5, 2024.

Fans of political fiction and mystery/suspense political thrillers will be captivated by this one-sitting read!
