Term Limits - Steve Powell

Alan Steele Nicholson, Former Press Officer - US Senator Jacob Javitz, New York Brilliant and timely political who-done-it. Having been a press officer for a US Senator for a number of years, I've had a front row seat to the inter workings of Capital Hill. To my mind, Powell has masterfully combined the timeliness of today's political intrigue with a gripping detective story/who-done-it. By bringing the mind-boggling swirling mess that is Washington politics down to the level of one family's pain he held me glued to the page. What I found particularly remarkable was how easily I found myself sympathizing with the 'villain', and how well-crafted and human was Powell's plea that we need to finally bring common sense back to our government and its approaches to critical problems facing the country and the world. A deceptively easy read -- given its thunderous message. Term Limits should be require reading for every new politician heading to Washington. Murder - week after week, month after month, across the country. Pushed beyond his limits, one man takes on the establishment , the gun lobby , and corruption at the highest levels . To break the power of entrenched elites, he leads the nation on a grisly hunt. He's hunting them. And they're hunting him. One side will have to blink. In the meantime, people are dying. Term Limits is a thriller from the front pages of our newspapers. It couldn't be more topical.
