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!

My King The President (Kindle Edition)

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 giugno 2010

Acquisto verificato

I am so delighted to have "discovered" Tom Lewis, a Symphony Conductor for thirty eight years and now a splendid author. His writing is clean and crisp, his plot and story telling ability is first rate. My King The President is one of the best thrillers I have read; the action is fast, the plot twists and the characters are strong and believable. A young Secret Service Agent gets up one morning, reports for duty at the Whitehouse, goes to the President's office and shoots him dead and then kills himself. Why? He leaves only two cryptic notes; one with a priest and another for a best friend who is an investigative reporter.This is a story of dangerous and powerful people in the Government, the Military and Industry who need to be exposed.

Man in the Middle

Best buck I've spent lately

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 ottobre 2011

Acquisto verificato

One way I can tell a book is good is when I immediately want to buy it after finishing the Kindle sample. In this case, I didn't even pause before paying my dollar to read the rest.

Another way I can tell a book is good is when I find myself choosing to read it before either books due back soon at the local library or books awaiting a Vine review.

This is such a book. I ended up renewing my library loan of another book, and putting off two Vine book reviews, so I could finish this book first.

Lots of action and suspense. Lots of interesting detail. Lots of interesting human interaction. There's some violence, an occasional bad word, and a bit of sex, but not enough to be unsuitable for teen readers. Held my attention all the way to the end, and only twice did I want to shout at an idiot character for a foolish choice.

Definitely recommended.

Decent thriller, riveting plot, non-stop action

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 luglio 2011

Acquisto verificato

A Secret Service agent shoots the President of the USA dead, then kills himself. There are rumours of a grand conspiration. A former investigative reporter is called by the new President to perform an independent and unofficial inquest. And then the novel takes off like a rocket and never stops until the very end. The plot is well assembled, the action is never boring.

On the other hand, the plot has a fair number of holes, some big, some small. The prose might have benefitted from the services of a good editor. (Including the mechanics: the book features text in italics and underlined, numbered lists, and ship names written in all caps.) Fortunately, the spelling is consistenly good.

There are the usual technical howlers when it comes to computers and aircraft, and, as in many other thrillers, a lack of understanding of how governments work. The President of the USA has way too much free time and freedom of movement, for example. Some characters cross the line between cardboard and utterly unbelievable.

But overall the Kindle edition provides good entertainment and excellent value for money. (At $18 the paperback edition is much too expensive and would have got two stars only.)

(Scale: * - unreadable, couldn't finish. ** - bad or very bad, but readable. *** - honest solid work, value for money. **** - very good in its genre. ***** - timeless masterpiece.)

objective is entertainment!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 giugno 2010

I still have about 1/10 of the book to go, but so far it is simply intriguing! I don't mind the improbable events and all the dead bodies since the main objective is to be entertained. Very imaginative! Beautiful cover art and beginning.

The only odd thing is that suddenly and without apparent reason, text is indented about 2" for an undetermined number of lines, then it returns to normal. That happened throughout. This is the first time this has happened, so I'm thinking it's not my Kindle but a glitch of some kind. I'm on a K1, so maybe it's created for the K2?

Story is so gripping that this oddity is easy to forgive.

A very good story

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 agosto 2013

Acquisto verificato

I enjoyed this a lot. Plenty of twists and turns. The characterd were enjoyable. Two glaring errors aggravated me. First is a pet peeve of mine and one that is all too frequent. It is called a MAGAZINE, not a clip. A clip is used to insert rounds into a magazine. A magazine inserts the rounds into a weapon. It is a stupid error that far too many authors make. If you make your living using words, use the right ones. The other error was incorrectly identifying the FAA as the Federal Aeronautics Administration. It's the Federal Aviation Administration. If you want people to take the time to read your book, take the time to look your terms up.
