About this listen
The Ship of State: Books One through Five follow a young American President, Donald Burlington, as he seeks to restore the country back to the type of democratic republic the Founding Fathers envisioned. It’s not easy turning the ship of state around being a political novice, fighting against the leaders of both parties, the political establishment and the status quo.
However, the young president perseveres by getting Congress to change the way it operates, reaching out to moderate Muslims to deal with the radical elements of their religion, proposing dramatic changes to the way the government taxes and hands out entitlements and winning a landslide reelection after an ugly campaign full of personal attacks and dirty tricks from the other side.
On a personal level, Donald Burlington and his wife divorce, he takes the advice of an international film star to view his personal assistant, Nicole Martin, as more than an able assistant, marries her and she nearly dies giving birth to their twins on election night. Shortly thereafter the President suffers a near fatal medical event and after a long slow recovery gives up the presidency and works to pass a number of meaningful Constitutional Amendments that will have a positive effect on the country for generations to come.
The question is - How did it all begin?
In The Ship of State: The Prequel, you’ll see how and why a successful business consultant decided to leave his firm to become the President & CEO of a Denver based bank to steer it through a turbulent financial calamity, warn Congress and the country of the upcoming crisis, then answer the call to run for President of the United States and ultimately defeat the incumbent president.
If you liked the movie The American President or the hit TV series The West Wing, you’ll love The Ship of State and enjoy how the wild ride all began.
