Political Slant

Security in Washington is lax. Presidential personnel has had a drastic cut. And the White House Correspondents’ Dinner caterers are understaffed. Tonight is the perfect night for Ben English to podcast live from Washington’s most exclusive event.

But while Ben is crashing that party, flight attendant Shaun Grainer and a jet full of Washington-bound celebrities are crashing into hostile, desert territory, where vicious animals, a van full of masked gunmen, and terrifying imprisonment await them.

It’s when the U.S. government airs its heroic rescue of the victims that Ben, banned from ever broadcasting again, abandons his quest for star-studded interviews to sate his hunger for truth in this fast-paced political thriller.
