Thriller Political | Thriller Military
A "Thought-Provoking" Story From a Former White House Press Corps Member Steve Berry says Body Man is "crisply plotted, thought-provoking and troubling in its take on our new reality." In this incredibly timely new political thriller, former White House and Pentagon press corps member and multi-award-winning author Al Pessin takes readers inside the corridors of power, on deployment with a Marine Corps unit, and into the secret world of militias willing to commit violence to "defend America." Jon Land calls Body Man "a taut, terrifying, terrific political thriller that cuts to the bone . . . an all-too-credible cautionary tale ripped from tomorrow's headlines." Body Man reads like the true story it could easily be, told by its two main characters. Spencer is the Body Man, close personal aide to a liberal senator who catapults to the presidency. Carl is a body man of a different sort, a Marine Corps sniper with a bad conduct discharge who gets drawn into the Alt-Right movement and recruited to assassinate the new president. As America's real-life tensions explode, there are mass shootings, riots in the streets, and mutinies in the military—all things that could actually happen if we let them. And two young men have more power to determine the course of American history than they should ever have. Body Man is a "chilling cautionary tale," says NY Times bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker. "Al Pessin has done it again. Don't miss this one from a terrific writer."
