Publisher's summary

President Elect is book five in the best-selling Luke Stone thriller series, which begins with Any Means Necessary (book one).

When China bankrupts the US economy by calling in its debt and by shutting down the South China Sea, Americans are desperate for radical change. President Susan Hopkins, running for re-election, is floored as she watches the returns come in. Her rival, a madman senator from Alabama who ran on the promise to deport all Chinese and to nuke China's ships out of the South China Sea, has, inconceivably, won.

President Hopkins, though, knows she cannot yield power. To do so would be to spark World War Three.

Knowing the election was stolen, President Hopkins needs 48 hours to prove it, and to stop the escalating war games with the Chinese. With no one left to turn to, she summons Luke Stone, the former head of an elite FBI para-military team. The stakes could not be higher as she commands him to save America from its greatest threat: its own president-elect.

Yet as one shocking twist follows another, it may, even for Luke Stone, be too late.

A political thriller with non-stop action, dramatic international settings and heart-pounding suspense, President Elect is book five in the best-selling and critically-acclaimed Luke Stone series, an explosive new series that will leave you listening late into the night.

Political Drivel

Everybody who is not a liberal, is a racist, dishonest criminal, war monger. The story requires buying in to far left militant ideology to be plausible.

Will not read him again

What would have made President Elect better?

Not going to finish this. I hate when an author attempts to insert their politics in a book. Won't read him anymore.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jack Mars again?

Leftist propanda masquereding a a novel. HORRIBLE

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I FORMERLY loved this author and this character. Now, the author took the dissention in the country, turned it around into Anti Trump propaganda. I listened as long as I could but the rants on racism, climate change nationalism are just too much and nauseating. I'm done with this author. Please take this poor excuse for a book back.

Has President Elect turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. Only this author. This is my favorite genre, but I'll never again listen to him.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

keep his political views out of this and keep the previous type of story going. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Any additional comments?

Anyone who likes vince flynn or other authors in this genre stay away from this book and this author

Mars political persuasion POOR FICTION

Like the mainstream media who once produced reliable, unbiased, factual news allowing us to form our very own opinions using our very own minds but now are just pundits espousing their personal political views and those of their masters like snake oil infomercials so goes Jack Mars. A shame. The media could be professional, unbiased, and respected but have chosen psychological manipulation as their unwanted trade. Mars could continue to be a great fiction writer but has caved to writing thinly veiled political treatise. He's set to lose a large percentage of his readers because he couldn't just write a non-fiction opinion book instead and call it what it is.

Fizzle

Admittedly.....only made it two hours in.
The mass politician over simplifications might have been convenient to the author, but offensive and small brained to this reader.

This is where I leave Luke Stone.

Agenda book

This was by far the worst of the series. It was an obvious agenda book. All about politics and very little about Luke Stone.

Left wing screed

Thinly based on the 2016 presidential election. Very pro Hillary, anti Trump where all southern conservatives are stupid hicks, one step from tobacco chewing KKK members.

Absolutely gripping and suspenseful

This and all of this series to date have been absolutely gripping and I cannot wait each time to go to the next book. The narrator is incredible and the storyline is just brilliant. I particularly enjoy American presidential style books and movies, but this series has to be top of the charts so well done I am absolutely committed. Congratulations to everyone involved keep doing what you are doing because the entertainment value is just brilliant. Thanks so much!
