What Can One Man Do? - Paperback

by Eric Rice (Author)

America is at the brink of the precipice. Competing ideologies divide the citizens, setting neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother. In a time when facts are what anyone wants them to be, disinformation and mistrust of each other are the only truth being broadcast. As everyday Americans hunker down, trying to avoid becoming a statistic in the cancel culture wars, America is self-segregating into warring tribes, each believing the other is evil personified.

From the obscurity of College History professor, decorated veteran Nick Turner finds himself thrust into the role of interim United States Senator. With neither political experience nor political baggage, he must quickly learn the ways of the most powerful political body in the world. Realizing the Washington political battlefield is every bit as deadly and diabolical as Afghanistan and Iraq, Nick develops new skills to survive, even as the nation faces a key turning point in its history.

Through an accident of fate, Nick becomes the key vote on a piece of groundbreaking legislation. Legislation whose consequences, both intended and unintended, would alter the future of the Republic. Nick struggles against his Party, the Opposition, his conscience, and his obligation to defend the common citizen from certain disaster. Which way is right? How do you know? These are the questions as we discover, just What Can One Man Do?
