For the first time since George Washington, an Independent has been elected President of the United States of America. But the new President may only have 254 days to make a point: that the world can be completely changed with a different approach. That short amount of time is all the President has between the inauguration and when the next budget must be approved.

Produktbeschreibung
For the first time since George Washington, an Independent has been elected President of the United States of America. But the new President may only have 254 days to make a point: that the world can be completely changed with a different approach. That short amount of time is all the President has between the inauguration and when the next budget must be approved. Should the President fail, the government will be shut down and the Republicans and Democrats in Congress may attempt a... different solution. After all, not everyone is going to agree that "doing the right thing" is the "right thing to do", and there is a price to be paid for even trying. The President's tale unfolds from the perspective of the outside media, with all its various viewpoints and agendas. Each has its own story to tell for any-and-all reasons. Can a new way of doing politics truly supplant the entrenched system? Or will the system get its way and remove this President for good?

Autorenporträt
For the record, J.P. Prag is a Pisces.Even though it doesn't mean anything, what is notable is that ten of the eighteen stars in Pisces (that are nowhere near each other) are known to host planets. One of the planets called "GU Pisces b" takes around 80,000 Earth years to circle its sun. It is also worth highlighting that some of the stars in the constellation are not singular balls of plasma at all, but are entire galaxies! Further scientific examination has revealed many other faint galaxies, nebulae, and other stellar objects within the Pisces general area. A couple of those galaxies are on a collision course, so look out for that over the next several hundred million years or so.When not observing stellar objects at the Ladd Observatory, J.P. Prag can be found several blocks away at his home and office in Providence, RI, U.S.A. with his partner Caroline and their many tall ferns and philodendrons, lazy lying down cacti, outside pet squirrels (including Squirrel the Raccoon), and a stuffed sloth named Peeve and his new buddy Skvishy. That's where he wrote this and his other published works that you should add to your reading list right now!For more irreverent details (and perhaps some pertinent ones, too?) and contact information, please visit WWW.JPPRAG.COM.
