Second Term

“Second Term is second to none when it comes to high stakes action and nonstop thrills. J. M. Adams has fashioned a ticking time bomb of a political thriller that evokes the best of classics from Seven Days in May to Six Days of the Condor.” —Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author

“A battle of wits that heats up the pages, this one will hold you tight until all is revealed.” —Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author

“In his debut novel, Second Term, J. M. Adams keeps the pages of his political thriller turning at a blistering pace, led by a character you’re going to root for aloud. If only she were real!” —Jerome Preisler, New York Times best-selling author

“I sat down with Second Term and didn't stop reading until I finished it. Breakneck pace and an all-too-plausible scenario, with a vivid and memorable protagonist. I hope we see more of Cora Walker.” —Joseph Finder, New York Times best-selling author 

“Journalist and correspondent Adams knows the inner workings of DC and vividly portrays the Capitol’s underside. He writes Cora as a dystopic, flawed hero who is larger than life in this near-future narrative that’s frighteningly like the present.” —Library Journal

“Adams brings 15 years of television journalism experience to his political action thriller debut . . . With a heart-stopping conclusion, [Second Term] is ideal for fans of the ‘ticking time bomb’ scenario.” —Booklist

“Adams effectively harnesses the headlines to create suspense.” —Publishers Weekly

“With a strong narrative, Adams weaves together a thriller that pushes what the world knows about American democracy and takes it even further.” —Mystery and Suspense

“[Second Term is] a must-read for anyone who craves a gripping, thought-provoking, and engrossing thriller.” —Readers’ Favorite
