Book Talk with Justin Lowe the Author of The Independent
Join us Tuesday September 2nd, as Justin Lowe talks about his book: The Independent
Here's some information, pulled from the back of his book:
"If you're intrigued by the inner workings of American politics and enjoy a gripping political thriller, then The Independent is a must-read.
Set in a deeply divided Washington, this novel follows former professor Parker Stowe, who suddenly finds himself in one of the most powerful — and dangerous — positions in the country: the tie-breaking senator in an evenly split Senate. His choices could alter the fate of the nation, but they come at a high personal cost. With tensions rising, backroom deals unfolding, and a mysterious figure in a hoodie threatening to unravel it all, the stakes have never been higher.
Written before recent political events but eerily mirroring today's headlines, The Independent pulls readers into the secretive, power-driven world of DC negotiations. It sheds light on the outdated political practices that continue to shape lives behind the scenes and asks just how far each party will go to protect their interests.
Author Justin Lowe, an entrepreneur and philosophy graduate from Vanderbilt University, brings a thoughtful, fast-paced narrative that’s both timely and insightful. With a passion for theology, politics, and history, Lowe delivers a compelling read that will appeal to fans of political drama and thought-provoking fiction.
As Robert J. Dold, former U.S. Representative, says, "In a time of razor-thin margins in the United States Senate and the House, Lowe produces a fantastic page-turner novel for anyone interested in American politics."
