Description
The Next American Revolution Won’t Start with Muskets—It’ll Start with a Movement
“In a time when democracy feels fragile, What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose is a razor-sharp political thriller that reminds us of the stakes.”
—Patrick Murphy, former U.S. Congressman & 32nd Under Secretary of the Army
Jackson Piper thought his time in Washington was over. The idealistic former senator had walked away from the backroom deals and partisan games, determined to live a quieter life. But when whispers of a plot to end elections as Americans know them come into focus, Piper is thrust back into a shadow war where loyalty is currency, betrayal is a weapon, and survival depends on knowing the rules—and breaking them.
In this explosive first chapter of the award-winning Bull Moose trilogy, Piper’s return to the political arena ignites a high-stakes fight spanning presidencies, decades, and a national movement to reclaim democracy from those who would dismantle it. Along the way, he’ll face billionaire kingmakers, party enforcers, and the moral cost of staying true to his word in a world built to break it.
For fans of The President Is Missing by James Patterson, The Diplomat, House of Cards, and political thrillers that feel one headline away from reality.

I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This story picks up from the last book, The Senate Deception, with Jackson now in Colorado for the last few years since he lost his last election for Senator. Now it is time for the run up till the next presidential election. The incumbent POTUS is running and the other party field has dropped down to one candidate. Jackson is convinced to run, but this time he will run for the nomination as a candidate in both parties. The primaries arrive and Jackson is doing well and cutting into POTUs and the other party’s lead. With Jackson gaining favor for both sides, the political parties both push thru a rule that will disqualify Jackson. As a result, Jackson and his team decide as a new party, the Bull Moose Party.
Jackson is now running his campaign and he quickly overtakes the other party’s candidate and is getting close to POTUS. Now POTU is becoming worried and begins using dirty tricks to slow Jackson down. The time for the election has passed and no one has gotten the required Elector votes. The decision will now fall to Congress on Jan. 6th.
To discover what tricks POTUS’s team does, how far another individual was willing to go on POTUS’s ticket, what dangers Jackson’s campaign has to overcome and what happened in the end, then you need to read this book. It shows how dangerous running for office has become and what new tools are available to hamper their opponents. It is definitely an eye opener.
