Leverage Point (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959078517)

No shot fired. No alarm raised. The most powerful man in America is gone-and the country hasn't noticed.

Mason Lewis spent thirty years inside the NSA learning exactly how the machinery of power fails. He has watched every lawful remedy stall, get captured, or arrive too late. The 25th Amendment exists. The votes might even exist. What's missing is time,

So Lewis and a handful of people who have all, in their own way, stopped believing the system can save itself do the impossible: they take the President off the board without a shot fired, without a body, without a martyr. Not an assassination. Something quieter, and far stranger-a simulation. A held breath. A window just wide enough for the Constitution to finally do its work.

But a cage built to protect a democracy is still a cage. And inside it-and outside it-the line between the people saving the country and the people seizing it begins to disappear.

Can you save a democracy through undemocratic means?

Lewis isn't sure. Neither is the reader. That's the point.

Leverage Point is the first novel in The Deep State-a series about the terrifying distance between what's legal and what's right, and the people who decide, on their own authority, to close it. For readers of Blake Crouch's reality-bending thrillers and the constitutional dread of Seven Days in May and The Manchurian Candidate.

The most dangerous thing in America isn't a weapon. It's a question you can't stop asking.

Book One of the Deep State Novels. A complete, self-contained thriller that opens a trilogy.
