O knihe

Public-relations extraordinaire Blake Hamner (the n is silent) put off his honeymoon for his big break: joining a major political campaign for president. Now, the "Hammer" struggles to make time for his marriage as Crisis Communications Manager for Our Leader, who since taking power has become increasingly mad and totalitarian.
The Hammer starts to reconsider his career choices when one of Our Leader's savage steel hounds attacks the Comms team at a press conference. When a revolutionary levels grave allegations against Our Leader-and implicates Blake for the cover-up-the PR rep who thought he could talk his way out of any crisis finds himself utterly trapped in a dystopian job.
"In a tale that's reminiscent of political farces such as the HBO TV series Veep, Bender employs a smooth, amusing, and straightforward prose style that's briskly paced," says Kirkus Reviews. "Its tone is irreverent, and readers looking for a quick chuckle will likely enjoy Bender's winking comedy, which is punctuated with genuinely sweet, sincere moments."
"A dystopian novel laced with intrigue, science fiction, romance and humor," writes Gail Kaufman in a review for Reedsy Discovery. "I recommend this book to fans of dystopia who would appreciate a comedic writing style and the underlying themes of marital challenges, finding your purpose, diversity and manipulation through social media."
