Three Other Political Thriller Series that are “Politics As Unusual”

The Michael Bennit Series

Michael Bennit is a former Green Beret turned history teacher who strives to inspire his students. After losing a bet to one of his classes, he is forced to do something he never imagined: run for political office.

Wanting to teach his pupils a lesson in civics, he offers them a chance to run his campaign against a slimy incumbent bent on destroying them at any cost.

Once in Washington, he is joined by several students on his staff and finds himself tackling a greater challenge than the ones he met on the battlefield: politicians in Congress. Eager to destroy the upstart independent who has captured national attention, the political class pulls out all the stops to destroy him and end his time in Washington.

Michael is a man of integrity and courage navigating a world that sees little of either. He’s the perfect exemplar of what we should all demand from our leaders, and with a likable group of young staffers and close allies, they are a group you will root for until the very end.

The America, Inc. Saga

Corporations rose to power after misguided policies and fiscal mismanagement led to a global economic collapse that brought the world to its knees. Order was restored, but the people lost every ounce of personal freedom to do it. In corporations around the world, vibrant undergrounds formed to fight back. Some readers may think this world is a utopia. Others will think it’s a dystopia. That divergence in perception is what makes this saga so compelling – the journey will challenge your biases and your view of modern society. If freedom is something to be cherished, why don’t more people stand to fight for it?

Watchtower Thrillers

Eugene “Boston” Hollinger discovered that he has a gift – a traumatic brain injury has left him with the ability to tap into people’s minds and see their memories. For Boston, it’s an inconvenience he must learn to live with until he realizes that he can use it to uncover a dangerous mole selling our national secrets to the highest bidder.

After being left for dead, he finds himself a member of Watchtower – an ultra-secret group of intelligence and law enforcement resources designed to solve America’s domestic and international crises outside of official channels. For Boston, this is a new lease on life. For the government, he’s nothing more than a weapon that must be exploited.

Boston is the closest thing to a real-life superhero that exists. Imagine what you would do if you could close your eyes and experience another person’s most traumatic memories. What could you uncover? What will Boston find along his journey?
