About this listen

There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself.

It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote.

A Third Term is a speculative fiction by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg in which a Democratic political operative snatches George Washington from his deathbed in 1799 and brings him to the present era. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, Washington will require considerable rehabilitation to pose a challenge to the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” But a wily, unorthodox campaign manager and a sexy, sympathetic personal trainer are up for the job.

Critic reviews

“A Third Term is just the sweet, witty, fact-checked fairy-tale we need right now. Do yourself and your dreams a favor and read this at bedtime instead of scrolling the polls.” --Sam Lipsyte, bestselling author of The Ask

"Save democracy! Start by reading this book." --Gary Shteyngart, bestselling author of Our Country Friends

This novella is one of most interesting and beautifully narrated stories that I have ever experienced on Audible! The story itself is not quite like anything that I’ve read before. It’s witty literary fiction wrapped up in political intrigue and post-modern historical fiction, with a touch of sci-fi. And, the narration! The narrator, Bray Poor, brilliantly narrates this tale and brings it to life. I didn’t want this engrossing story to end! More like this please….

Incredible Story & Narration!!
