Power Grab
We often look back on an event and wonder how in the world we ever let things get so out of hand. In Ignite, the president begins to realize he's like the proverbial frog in the pot--put him in cold water, and increase the heat so gradually that he won't realize he's in trouble--until he's nearly cooked. Trusting the wrong person with power has led the entire country into a dire situation.
Book Excerpt
Ignite: A YA Dystopian Thriller
President Wright was one of the most powerful people in the free world, but he was never meant to be the sole decision-maker in any crisis. That sort of presidential power only existed in schoolchildren’s politics. When he was newly elected, it had been a relief to let Stratford, the experienced OCSD director, take the lead on the nation’s never-ending security issues. It had been a jolt to realize that, over time, Stratford had usurped most of his power and attained so much influence over the other branches of government that no one dared challenge his authority.
