Synopsis

"Stephen Coonts delivers another high-powered, politically-charged thriller that is not to be missed." — The Real Book Spy "[A] headline-inspired thriller with a conservative slant." —Publishers Weekly After one of the most contentious and divisive elections in American history, the new president is finally settling into the West Wing. But when his chief of staff discovers evidence that voting machines in key counties in swing states were tampered with, the whole administration is in danger of unraveling. Did someone steal the election? Are America's enemies involved? Were the tampered-with machines actually rigged to swing the election the other way—and if so and the plot failed, what is the conspirators' backup plan?Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini race to solve the mystery of a potentially rigged election before Americans' full faith and credit in our democracy, sovereignty, and rule of law become completely undone.

About Stephen Coonts

This biography could be entitled, West Virginia Boy Becomes a Very Successful Author....... but that would be too obvious. Author, Stephen Coonts was born and raised in Buchanan, West Virginia, a small town of 6,000. He led the typical life of any boy growing up in the 50's and 60's.

He was born in 1946, and ended his childhood by graduating from West Virginia University with a degree in political science. As happens with many poli-sci grads, he had a law degree in mind, but first he served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy and began flight training in Pensacola, Florida.

Coonts received his wings after completion of fleet replacement training in the A-6 Intruder aircraft. After serving in the Vietnam War as an attack fighter, he served as a flight instructor, and did a tour of duty on the USS Nimitz. Upon leaving the Navy, he entered the University of Colorado School of Law. After receiving his law degree, he moved back to West Virginia to practice for a couple of years. But, his career took him back to Colorado where he specialized in oil and gas law.

Finally, in 1986, he published his first novel, Flight of the Intruder, which became a huge success, being on the New York Times bestseller list in hardcover. Later, a movie by the same title was produced based on his novel, and was released nationally in 1991. All of his books have been published in several different countries.

Currently, Coonts lives in Colorado with his third wife, Deborah, He continues to write novels from Colorado.

I have loved Stephen Coonts novels since the Flight of the Intruder with both Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmelli characters and their stories. However, the author has chosen to use this story to prophesize his ultra-right political views. Although the names have changed, the story clearly is about the......more

Goodreads review by Gerard R. Baumann on January 26, 2018

Political polemic I’m a huge counts fan ! Read Flight of the Intruder as a former Naval Aviator! His subsequent novels were interesting and well done ! HOWEVER , the last two have been pro Trump, anti Clinton excursions. Fundamentally don’t disagree with the latter motivation , but miss a good book ,......more

Goodreads review by Travis on October 03, 2017

Coonts succeeds once again. It's been a while since a new release to continue the saga, but this will help fill the void for a few days. Unfortunately, it's then up to another wait; hopefully not another year and a half. There is a new President and ripped from real life recent headlines is a suspicio......more
