Description
There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote.
A Third Term is a speculative fiction by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg in which a Democratic political operative snatches George Washington from his deathbed in 1799 and brings him to the present era. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, Washington will require considerable rehabilitation to pose a challenge to the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” But a wily, unorthodox campaign manager and a sexy, sympathetic personal trainer are up for the job.

Advance Praise
"A Third Term is just the sweet, witty, fact-checked fairy-tale we need right now. Do yourself and your dreams a favor and read this at bedtime instead of scrolling the polls."
--Sam Lipsyte, bestselling author of The Ask
"There is something uncannily alive in Paul Greenberg’s time-traveling George Washington. Witty but withholding, ambitious while ashamed, he steps through the pages of A Third Term as a man haunted by the past, desperate to change the future."
--Arthur Philips, bestselling author of The King at the Edge of the World
"A Third Term is an inventive Orwellian take on the absurdity of the American political system. A must-read if you still have the strength to laugh."
-- Mark Kurlansky, bestselling author of Cod and Salt
"Bravo! Greenberg for President!"
--Mary Norris, bestselling author of Between You and Me
"In his sanely surreal novella, Greenberg considers how America's true greatness could literally be resurrected to preclude the unthinkable (yet quite plausible) takeover by a dictator from within."
--Carl Safina, MacArthur Fellow and bestselling author of Beyond Words
