The Brokered Convention
Nick Harlow (2016)

Time for a political story, given that the USA elections as three weeks away.

When the incumbent President who is a stone cold lock for re-election suddenly drops out due to health reasons at the last minute, both political parties are thrown for a loop. With the ultimate prize up for grabs, all sorts of candidates scramble to throw their hats in the ring.

It’s an interesting read, especially as the author would have written the book before the 2016 Trump elections.

Most of the characters are the one dimensional type you would be expecting from politicians. There are shenanigan and tricks from everyone. But the main difference between this and reality, is that in reality politicians pay for lying.
