Reviews
"The Liberty Intrigue is wildly entertaining and thoroughly edifying. Tom Grace spins a dazzling thriller that races across the dangerous terrain of a US presidential election with style and aplomb. A celebration of American exceptionalism found only in the power of the individual-a yarn you can't put down. Simply awesome." --David Limbaugh, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Crimes Against Liberty "Fresh, intelligent, and emotional, The Liberty Intrigue is a gem of a read. Tom Grace explores his brilliantly conceived political landscape with wit and intelligence. All of the right elements combine for an evocative tale that will leave you panting for more." --Steve Berry, #1 NY Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key, Where is Ross Egan when we need him?! Talk about a timely novel. Tom Grace's The Liberty Intrigue is set during election season. The sitting president is liberal and corrupt, but the Republicans have a wide array of candidates, beating each other up in the primaries, none of them rising to the top. A few short weeks ago, this was the story for the Republicans; for what it's worth the nomination has been sealed up by Romney by now. Back to the novel: over in Africa, Ross Egan, a somewhat obscure American electrical engineer has risen in prominence and leadership in a nation that has just come out of a civil war and is now instituting American-style democratic reforms. He and the president of the African nation become co-recipients of the Nobel Prize. Unable to come to a consensus at their nominating convention, the Republicans draft the independent Egan. Egan is exactly the candidate tea-party, free-market, freedom-loving Republicans long for, without the baggage that so many candidates bring, and with a practical means to solve America's energy problem. That's a weakness of the book: the reader ends up frustrated by the end, faced with the reality of the candidates he has to hold his nose to choose among. While Egan is wholly fictional, one character in The Liberty Intrigue is immediately recognizable. Conservative talk-show host Garr Denby is a completely unveiled tribute to Rush Limbaugh. I think some of the phrases must have been taken directly from the show. Oh, and the sitting president? Let's just hope that Grace isn't privy to some insider information; the picture he paints does not compliment Obama! Besides conservative politics and talk-radio hosts, Grace also gives a not to Ayn Rand. You may recall the catchphrase from Atlas Shrugged, "Who is John Galt?" In several scenes in that novel, the phrase shows up by surreptitious means. Similarly, throughout The Liberty Intrigue, the phrase, "Who is I" appears, accompanied by selective blackouts and computer hacking. As much as I loved the message of the book, I will admit that after the opening scenes, I got a bit bogged down. It seemed like Denby's monologues got a bit too long… . But after the halfway point or so, the story recovered and became a fun read. Now if we could only find a real Ross Egan!

Synopsis
Ross Egan has quietly labored for years in the West African nation of Dutannuru-a tiny republican democracy that emerged from the wreckage of the brutal civil war that claimed the brilliant engineer's wife and child. When a neighboring despot threatens Dutannuru with renewed violence, Egan is abruptly thrust onto the world stage at the center of the deadly international crisis. Egan's actions and resulting notoriety land him on the short list of individuals capable of challenging the progressive incumbent for the presidency of the United States-if only he can be convinced to run. A political neophyte, Egan is intrigued by the challenge of unseating a ruthless political operator seen by some as the most dangerously leftist president in the nation's history. To win the White House, Egan must mount the most unorthodox presidential campaign ever attempted - and navigate through a daunting new world marked by character assassination, high-level corruption, armed raids, and political murder.
