Just One Vote

A critically reviewed third new novel in a series that now introduces political intrigue in an amusing and somewhat cynical exploration of the human condition that nevertheless argues for a bright American future. Richly drawn characters are exposed with all their frailties and greatness. Several noted critics have acclaimed this novel for its "fresh, creative and original approach to an otherwise mundane topic." This novel follows the popular non-fiction,Just One Hug and Just One Spirit by the author. One publisher noted, As fiction, Just One Vote takes the reader "on a journey where you can actually reach out to touch the characters. From the bar stool to the Oval Office, you are there." The highly regarded editor and publisher of Princeton Editorial Services, Peter Strupp, said in his review, "John Adams wrote that ours is 'a government of laws, and not of men.' In 'Just One Vote' Lyle Kishbaugh stalks the corridors of Washington power, from the pillow talk of suburban bedrooms to the power talk of hundred-dollar lunches. Taking up where the political fiction of Allen Drury and Fletcher Knebel leaves off, Kishbaugh weaves a day-after-tomorrow tale of the perfect electronic voting system--and its inevitable corruption. Ambtious in scope yet nuanced in detail, the novel explores the fallibility of men even as it never loses hope for the perfectibility of the democratic ideal. In an age in which the cynicism of both government and the governed sometimes seems to know no bounds, Kishbaugh's tale of democracy strained but ultimely triumphant is a welcome counteractive. This is must reading."
