My King The President Review
Its a good thing I'm reading this book on a KINDLE, as if it were a library book, I'd be in trouble for half pulling out the pages, as I hurry to turn them.
As it is, I keep hitting the "next page" button too hard, and go TWO pages ahead.
I'm so used to the main character in such stories being all "James Bondy" and able to do pretty well anything but fly on his own power. In this case, the very human hero could just as well be ME, with zilch in the way of "powers."
I'm only halfway through, but can already confidantly give it a five star rating!
My King The President Overview
Investigative journalist, Jeb Willard, learns that his old college friend, a Secret Service agent, fatally shot the controversial President of the United States and then killed himself. Devastated, Jeb attends his friend's funeral where he is approached by a priest who gives Jeb a note from his Secret Service agent friend hinting of treason within the highest levels of the government. Uncertain what he should do, Jeb returns home to North Carolina to consult with Cal, his father and witty small town newspaper owner/editor. Cal advises Jeb to not get involved, at least not until more information is learned by the FBI and government investigators. Jeb follows his father's advice, but is eventually forced into action as the new President, Helene Fordham, calls him to Washington for a personal meeting. Jeb cannot refuse the persuasive first female President or her close friend, his former editor, and reluctantly agrees to begin his own investigation. It isn't long before Jeb, Cal, and Liz McCarty, the beautiful sister of the murderer, are running from the chief suspect, former Chief Justice Ezekial Koonce, as well as the FBI, police, a professional hit man, the Mafia, and even the U.S. Army! Stubbornly digging out facts of the conspiracy while barely keeping himself and his friends alive, Jeb manages to stay half a step ahead of all those in pursuit. With Cal's assistance, Jeb peels off layer after layer of the astonishing plot, which races through exciting and surprising turns of events, culminating in an amazing, highly explosive climax you won't believe!

This book will grab you from the beginning and hold you captive throughout. Good book to read on a weekend when you won't have to put it aside.
Please, save your money... - S. Payton - New York City
The only time I was thrilled was when it was over. I should have quit reading sooner but I didn't have another book downloaded. The characters are made of straw, the sex a middle-aged prison inmate's fantasy, and the plot implausible. I guess on the bright side, there were no typos.
