How many votes does it take to become President of the United States? The answer, as Jack Patton learned from his father at an early age, is just 270... the key is making sure they're the "right" 270 votes. When his father passes away, Jack comes up with a plan to honor the man in a way that respects his small-town, politically active legacy: by becoming one of the select few chosen as a member of the electoral college, the only people in the country whose vote directly decides the presidential election. But someone else has a different plan in mind... one that could not only put Jack in the center of a deadly political conspiracy, but could also result in one of the most audacious thefts of all time: the stealing of the presidency. Allan Airish is a professional writer with more than a million words published in various fields. "The Faithless" marks his debut as a novelist. The author can be found online at www.allanairish.com.
