Madam President (American Myth)

American Myth: 2012 is part of Jerry Beller’s Political Thriller/Historical Fiction series. 2012 follows President Kalinda Resbo, the first female and black president, as she runs for reelection, while fulfilling the many duties that come with the most difficult job in the world. With the election as a backdrop, 2012 weaves through an Iranian Crisis, an investigation into moles and corruption in the FBI, Congress and corporate America. Beller addresses many real events and people who are part of current events for the USA during 2012, while also creating many interesting fictional characters. President Resbo’s runs for reelection as an independent, running against congress and the two party system, advocating a different approach to politics, solutions that go outside those the democrats and republicans squabble over. 2012 is the first of a series of American Myth novels that Beller will release over the next several years. He has worked on the series for over two decades, and the novels cover the history of the United States, blending fiction and non-fiction in the manner of a historical fiction purist.
