Synopsis
“In author Joe Rothstein’s political thriller, The Moment of Menace, the author explores the battle of wills between a democracy and the autocratic elite who hope to rule the United States instead. Building upon the author’s second book in a series about a Mexican-American heiress who is elected President of the United States, the third book in this series finds the President, nicknamed Tenny, fighting against an elite group of businessmen and women, scientists, intelligence officers and military leaders who have gathered together under the group “The Salvation Project” in an effort to take control away from corrupt political systems. Yet their mission has swayed towards murder and corruption themselves, and Tenny faces off to the final battle to prove whether a democratic government can truly rule in place of an autocratic elite.” ~ Pacific Book Review
About the Author
I sat down to write my first book when I was in my 20s. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I could not write a book because I had nothing useful to say. I’d have to live my life first. Among other things, between then and now:
–I was the advance man for a traveling automobile stunt show. In the act I was “Suicide Saunders.” (That’s my next book).
–I sat, as an aide to the governor of Alaska, in the private quarters of the top military commander in Alaska, while he clutched a red telephone expecting a call telling him we were at nuclear war with Russia over the Cuban missile crisis.
–I experienced the most powerful earthquake in U.S. history, in Alaska, and worked on rebuilding in the aftermath.
–I became editor of a daily newspaper, The Anchorage Daily News, before I was 30.
–I flew as a passenger with the Navy’s Blue Angels (and have the photo to prove it).
—-As chief of staff of a United States Senator I was deeply involved in the Pentagon Papers episode.
–I was political consultant to Congressman Peter Rodino of New Jersey as he presided of Richard Nixon’s impeachment.
–I worked as strategist and media producer to help elect and re-elect nine U.S. Senators, dozens of members of Congress, and countless other candidates.
–I’ve started five businesses, one which went public, and another that’s become an important Internet news distribution service.
