New & Improved!: A Political Thriller

Can an ad agency creative superstar thwart a communist plot to take over the U.S. Government following the 1992 presidential election?

Ben Coleman, a successful forty-five-year-old New York City “Ad Man” and Vietnam War era Navy fighter pilot, is lured from his comfortable but predictable existence to Washington, D.C. to create the popular President Roger’s re-election campaign. Everyone wants to achieve a “landslide victory” in November, even the bad guys in high government positions. Ben reunites with Chet Greenwood—his jet squadron wingman who heads the White House Secret Service detail, meets the gorgeous and brilliant Laura Simpson—the President’s research aide, and gets up close and personal with the excitement and sudden dangers of the Washington, D.C. political circus.

Soon after arriving in the nation’s capital, Ben stumbles across a plot to assassinate the President upon his re-election, which will enable the Vice President—a deep-cover communist spy—and other highly-placed “moles” to take over the government. America’s 216 years of freedom are in jeopardy. Can Ben Coleman, relying on his creative talents and combative instincts, outwit a devious plot unleashed in Moscow fifty years earlier, and avoid a tragic disaster before unsuspecting voters go to the polls in November to re-elect the President?
