Jump in, have some fun. Political books can be way too serious, not this one. Take the journey as we follow La Firm’s attempt to inject their candidate, Trekker Hammond, into the highest office in the United States. This book is a Political Fiction Satire with actual history, dates, and locations. Could the actions divulged in this story happen in real life? You will have to determine the answer to that question, yourself.

    We have all heard the quote, “Follow the Money,” not sure where or who first admonished this paraphrase, but to be sure, there is a great deal of truth in the words.

    Money is power, power is control. Dictators have used this from the beginning of time. Keep the populace poor, furnish their basic needs and you have control of their votes.

    Living in the United States gives us a huge advantage as our constitution allows us to live in a capitalistic society. As great as we are, there are individuals and groups that would like to change this wonderful system and replace it with socialism. It sounds good to some, especially to naïve millennials, but has failed everywhere it has been established. 

    This story takes place from the early 1980s to current events. Read along as if a fly on the wall, to the private conversations one might hear between those that have power, and those that desire to take it away. Ascertain why common sense is absent when the need to control becomes more important than life itself. Discover how one group of very influential individuals attempts to control the highest office in the United States, “The Presidency.” Learn about Hammond Trekker and how he became a rock star politician. The actions in this story, are not so far-fetched that they couldn’t take place in society in the near future. The question you need to ask yourself, are they taking place today?

    A Viet Nam Veteran and fun-loving senior citizen, I have enjoyed an adventurous life, gaining many friends and acquaintances along the way. From the Military to the Race Horse Industry, as a Realtor and then into Hospitality, my adventures never end. Currently, I am attempting an enterprise as a writer. Thank God for spell check, Grammarly, and my great neighbors that volunteered (were coerced) into being my guinea pigs. 

    My goal was to write a story that pertains to current events but injects some humor and questions into the political environment. 

    I, like countless others, are concerned for the millions of folks that are in or near retirement and cannot afford the basic necessities of life.

    As a two-time cancer patient, I could never afford the excellent treatment I received if I didn’t have access to Medicare and the affordable supplemental insurance, thankfully, I am able to acquire. We must find a better way to provide health care for our citizens, but the answer is not socialized medicine.

    Health care and teaching the younger generations to prepare for retirement should be one of the top agendas for our many entrepreneurs and business savvy intellects to solve. You notice, I didn’t say, politicians. The cost of education and the massive debt taken on by the millennials should also be a priority.    

    I have written this book, not to embarrass or condemn any person or group, more to give a little history and have some fun with our political establishment.

    I am working on a sequel and would love comments, positive or negative, to guide me with the continuing story. 

    Please go to my website and let me know your thoughts, positive or negative, all will be educational for me.
