The Nine-Hour President
A Presidency Born in the Dark
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.
Bull Moose Series Book 1
In the dark of night, power is thrust into the hands of the unlikeliest leader. By noon, the world may be gone.
What would you do if you were awakened in the dead of night and told you were now the President of the United States—but only for nine hours? Would you freeze? Would you flinch? Or would you rise?
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.
The deceased president, just before dying, issued a nuclear launch order—and one of the remote missile silos isn’t responding.
A silent base. A blinking red light. No confirmation. No cancellation. Just uncertainty.
Which means: Nuclear war could begin at any moment. And no one even knows it yet—except the Nine-Hour President.
Power reveals. But pressure? Pressure defines.
Will the Nine-Hour President save the world—or be remembered as the one who watched it burn?
The Nine-Hour President must race against the clock, navigate a paranoid and divided national security team, and decide whether to trust the intelligence in front of them—or follow their instincts.
In a world where perception is power and hesitation can be deadly, this story plunges us into the psychological chaos of sudden leadership. Can a person rise to the challenge of ultimate responsibility with zero warning and less than ten hours to act?
When seconds count and the fate of millions lies in your hands… who are you, really?
This book is a must-read for Vince Flynn and James Patterson fans or lovers of political thrillers like The President’s Daughter, The Last Election, or 2034: A Novel of the Next World War. Get ready for a heart-pumping adventure cheering for the revived Bull Moose Party in the cutthroat world of presidential campaigns and power as Jackson Piper and his Bull Moose Party seek redemption and reform for America before it’s too late.
The Bull Moose series delivers a gripping blend of political intrigue, ethical dilemmas, and high-stakes drama, making it a must-read for fans of suspenseful thrillers. Set against the backdrop of a deeply divided and less-prosperous America twenty years in the future, the series explores the razor-thin line between leadership and corruption, power and principle.
Each installment of Bull Moose challenges readers to consider the real-world implications of moral compromise in pursuit of the greater good. Each book offers not only thrilling entertainment but also a complex interplay between real lessons from history and thought-provoking commentary on contemporary issues relevant to our turbulent times.
The series is not your typical modern political thriller driven by an international crisis or terrorist plot. Here, all the heroes and villains are prominent figures in the American government. The enemies are hiding in plain sight and their crimes may even be widely known – the question for Jackson Piper and his allies is often mustering enough power and support to stay alive long enough to stop the terrible undoing of the American experiment by some supremely unscrupulous actors in Congress, the Courts, and the White House.
