    About this ebook

    The year is 2100, and the world has adopted the American two-party electoral system. When it comes to the election for president of Earth, the father-daughter team of Toby and Lara Platt are the cutthroat campaign directors who get candidates elected by any means necessary—including the current president, Corbin Dubois of France. But when an alien lands outside the United Nations, claiming to be an ambassador from Tau Ceti, Dubois orders her attacked. Toby resigns in protest, but his daughter Lara takes over Dubois' corrupt reelection campaign.

    The alien survives the attack and tags along as Toby challenges the two major parties—one conservative, one liberal—and runs for president himself with an impossible third-party challenge. Amid rising tensions and chants of "Alien go home!" the campaign crisscrosses all seven continents as father and daughter battle for electoral votes and clash over the ideas and issues facing the world of 2100 in this nail-biting political campaign. The world is watching. And so is the alien.

      Campaign 2100 is well written and with the current USA political election is quite topical. Perhaps the American election needs an alien thrown in as well. I am currently about 39 percent into the book and will try to finish it. It seems overly long and too detailed but it seems that is how a presidential election actually progresses. On another note it creates food for thought. I received a free copy of the book to review.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyable political thriller. The story focuses on the election process for world president. Fighting against two diametrically opposed candidates our hero becomes the middle-ground candidate. He starts from nothing and goes on to impact the race significantly. The parallel with the current US election race is striking. Perhaps we need a middle-ground candidate there too, although too late now I fear. A science fiction element is added to this story by the arrival of an alien early on. This serves mainly as a mechanism for the author to view our earthly politics from an outsider's point of view. The mechanism works well but even combined with the future time setting of the story I wouldn't really classify this as a science fiction book.Overall a worthwhile read.
