Pre-order now. Releases worldwide June 2025.


At midnight, 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?

Welcome back to the world of Bull Moose—where power is personal, the stakes are stratospheric, and political theater unfolds faster than you can say “executive order.” Book 3 of the award-winning Bull Moose series is on its way, and it just might be the most gripping installment yet. The Nine-Hour President arrives June 2025, and the countdown has already begun.

Let’s dive into what makes this upcoming release an absolute must-read for fans of political thrillers, mystery, and high-octane character drama.


A Presidency Born in the Dark

The Nine-Hour President tells the story of a fan-favorite character whose name remains under wraps for now—but trust us, when you find out who’s been plucked from the shadows to serve as Commander-in-Chief for just nine hours, your jaw will hit the floor.

The premise? 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.


A Ticking Clock, A Haunted Conscience

This is no ordinary night at the White House. 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?

What if you only had minutes?

The Nine-Hour President doesn’t just thrill—it poses a daring question to readers:

When seconds count and the fate of millions lies in your hands… who are you, really?


Flashbacks and Foundations: The Story That Changed Everything

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.

Fifteen years earlier, a young Jackson Piper—then a rising, idealistic congressman—makes an unexpected choice that alters the course of his life and earns him the unwavering trust of political kingmaker Sylvester Billings.

Jackson’s decision to take action becomes a defining moment—not for his career, but for his character. And in the crucible of American politics, loyalty and courage may be the only currency that matters.


Why This Book Will Blow You Away

Let’s talk about what makes The Nine-Hour President not just another political thriller, but the one you’ll be thinking about long after you turn the final page:

✅ A mystery protagonist – You won’t know who the Nine-Hour President is until the moment it happens. (And yes, you’ll want to go back and read Book 1 and 2 all over again once you know.)

✅ Edge-of-your-seat pacing – This isn’t just a thriller; it’s a race against the clock with the entire globe in the crosshairs.

✅ Authentic political tension – From shadowy Cabinet members to rogue military leaders to a media blackout threatening to collapse, everything that happens in this book feels like it could happen tomorrow.

✅ Deep emotional storytelling – Loyalty. Betrayal. Redemption. The past and present collide in unexpected, heartbreaking, and heroic ways.

✅ Themes that matter – This isn’t just about politics. It’s about instincts under pressure. When we strip away the speeches and polls, who are the people we trust to lead? And can one night of power reveal a person’s true soul?
