Résumé :
Is it worth it? Independent presidential candidate Nick Turner is only weeks from the election. In the last week, he has faced a slew of 'October Surprises' hurled at him from the Vice President's campaign and her allies. Claims of voter fraud and ballot stuffing, to debanking and accusations of sexual misconduct leading to the suicide of a staffer. These scandals are all amplified by her willing allies in the American Pravda media. The attacks and the death of his staffer have Nick questioning whether it is worth it. His effort to reach the everyday American, increasingly ignored by the mainstream politicians and media, has painted a target on him, his staff, his followers, and his campaign. Now experiencing the blood sport that is American presidential politics, Nick wonders if it is even possible to reverse the trajectory of a nation so divided. Even if he can rouse the 'silent majority', will it be enough? What is at stake is nothing less than the survival of the founder's ideas of a country ruled not by kings or elites, but by the common people deciding their fate together. This is the fourth book of the America at the Brink saga. It follows Nick Turner's journey in American politics. From an appointed senator sacrificing his political future, trying to preserve the legislative filibuster. To a decision to run as an independent Presidential candidate, after realizing Washington politicians couldn't care less about their constituents. He soldiers on in his campaign, refusing to abide by any of the traditional ways of campaigning. Focusing on the everyday American, speaking from the heart about what matters to each of them. Promising nothing, he explains how only they can change outcomes. Nick builds his coalition, the Turner Rabble. Gaining momentum, his opponents take notice. Using the tried-and-true dirty tricks of presidential campaigns, seeking to derail his popularity. Nick tries to keep his momentum and stay alive long enough to get to election day. Throughout his campaign, he has made it clear, everyone has a choice. To wake up, stand up, and think for themselves, or trade their freedom and fate to others who will choose for them....
