Synopsis

America is rushing headlong into another election year, but something is wrong—the polls don't match reality. It's up to cybersecurity super sleuth Frank Adversego to find the Black Hats who are trying to hack the presidential election, and stop them before they do.

The action begins when a nameless government agency recruits Adversego to find out who's manipulating the polls, but he soon learns that the voting results are at risk as well. From then on, it's a race against time to see who will stop who as the presidential election—and Adversego's life—hang in the balance.

In this latest Frank Adversego thriller, you'll meet a scheming Native American casino manager, a scrum of presidential candidates too incredible to be believed anywhere outside of a real American election, a former Secretary of Defense who will stop at nothing, and an attractive French hitchhiker that Adversego rescues in the middle of a desert, and soon wishes he hadn't.

The Lafayette Campaign provides a satirical take on American politics and our infatuation with technology that will make listeners pause and wonder: could this really happen?

Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing.

I read Andrew Updegrove's Alexandria Project and knew I had to read another book by the same author, such was the quality of the first. Sometimes that can be a disappointing experience and there is nothing worse than having high hopes based on a first book, only to discover it was a flash in the pan......more

Goodreads review by Ian on March 22, 2016

I’m a fairly heavy reader and I read broadly across genres, but also I devour a good mix of indie authors, small press authors and the heavyweights who routinely crank out bestsellers, most of which are represented by the big publishing houses. Most, but not all. So needless to say I’m used to a hig......more

Goodreads review by Helen on July 19, 2019

Intrigue and confusion I really enjoyed this story. There us a lot of computer talk explaining what is going on in the election. Although I dont really understand computers, the author still makes it very clear what is happening. Frank has led a very reclusive life but seems to be stepping out of his......more

Democracy and technology in unique story telling Andrew Updegrove has crafted a unique story for my reading experience. He seems to have combined the story telling of old fashioned novels with the grit of today's thrillers. Extended exposition and narrative stretches of an older narrative style are ben......more
