The Nine-Hour President: A Thriller
Bull Moose Series | Book 3
About the Book
A Presidency Measured in Hours. A Nation Teetering on the Brink.
In the third book in the Bull Moose Series, Inauguration Eve 2045 arrives, and although Jackson Piper has been selected President by Congress, America is unknowingly on the brink of war. President Marco Alvarez is shot by the Secret Service, but not before issuing a nuclear strike order that is either a strike of vengeance or allegiance. In the vacuum of power, the Constitution thrusts Speaker Sylvester Billings into the presidency to steer the nation through crisis for nine hours while the unknowing nation sleeps.
But peace may not greet the dawn. Inside the White House, Olivia Clay faces an impossible choice: help her former adversary steer a wounded republic through crisis, or deliver him to a Cabinet of vipers still loyal to the dead regime. The only path to survival may lie in the unthinkable—trusting sentient machines.
Equally on President Sylvester Billings' mind is the location of his dear friend and former staffer, Aurelia Avignon. Billings retraces memories from 12 years ago, revealing the synthesis of the Billings-Piper alliance and possibly the details to determine Aurelia's fate.
Now, as the clock races toward noon, America faces one final reckoning. Will it welcome its first Bull Moose president—or be destroyed by Alvarez in his most heinous act before the oath is sworn?
For readers who love James Patterson’s The President Is Missing, Michael Dobbs’ House of Cards, Tom Clancy’s political scope, Vince Flynn’s grit, and Robert Ludlum’s web of intrigue.
