About the Book

Politics, the military, and journalism provide the stage where ambition, decency, love, and delusion collide in a thrilling ride through D.C., Austin, Beverly Hills, and Silicon Valley.

Four characters hope to hobble the new president, now suddenly without a party to protect him.

• Senator Sheffield Belmond plans to create a dramatic Senate hearing and so become the front-runner for the Tite’s presidential nomination.

• Rek Park-Raak, a new Army officer, hopes to undercut yet another repulsive President from his position in the Pentagon.

• Elle Crafton, a driven young reporter who works for a career-boosting scoop.

• Jan Staffort, the trans-woman Speaker of the House who schemes to advance her ambitions as the leader of the Mites.

Fire in the Belly of the Beast offers a wild, fresh, and fun exploration of American politics.
