It’s a pretty great feeling waking up and knowing that it’s Tuesday and we are already done with Monday for the week. Then again, I could just as easily freak out that it is already Tuesday and the week is getting away from me. I am feeling a bit anxious that school gets out in just a few weeks. Like a giant clock is ticking over my head. I am not really sure why. It’s not like I have finals to worry about, and my baby bassets seem to have it all under control. I had always hated finals in high school. I was horrible at taking tests, so having a full week of school dedicated to taking tests that were worth so much of your grade really freaked me out. Not enough to actually study though. Somehow I always passed with okay grades. It wasn’t until college that I learned if I actually studied for the tests I could pass all my classes with A’s. My baby bassets have always been straight A students, with a sprinkle of a few B’s now and then. Makes me wonder where on Earth they got that from. Not me!

The President’s Man
by Nicholas Guild
(5 Reviews)
Genre: Political | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
It was a great team from the start. Simon Faircliff: candidate for the U.S. Senate, the liberal’s darling, with the charisma of a great leader. And Frank Austen: young, sharp, ruthless; in search of a job — and a cause. It took them eight years to get Faircliff the White House, and Austen the directorship of the C.I.A. and Faircliff’s only daughter for his wife. For Austen it was eight years orchestrating campaigns and clearing the way for the man he had come to love and deeply respect.Only then, when he thought they had captured the world, did Austen have the time to sit back and listen to the nagging inner voice telling him that something, somewhere, was profoundly wrong. A chance encounter with an old man, imprisoned so long he had come to be known as the Political Prisoner Emeritus, sets Austen off to piece together a puzzle so sinister, so terrifying in its implications, that its only resolution is treason.An espionage novel of the highest caliber, The President’s Man is also a brilliantly crafted psychological novel, reminiscent of All the King’s Men and Advise and Consent in its portrait of political life.
