I was quite angry when my previous publisher pulled a runner last year. This book, however, since being re-released by @shotgunhoney.com ,

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference

"Hart’s ability to generate sympathy for characters with so much blood on their hands remains impressive, as does his ability to match laughs with gasps. This killer series continues to balance thrills and heart like few others."
