Someone or something is killing America's leaders. At the moment of a monumental win, the President and Vice President are assassinated on election night, placing the country in a unique constitutional crisis. This unprecedented power vacuum creates a perfect storm for our enemies, both foreign and domestic, to escalate their attacks and seize control to collapse the country. A year before the pivotal election day, a series of terrorist attacks targeting political candidates unsettle the country. When Luke Morrison is embedded in the campaign of a presidential candidate, William Thornton, he is eager to document Thornton's rise to power, report on his campaign, and discover the real reasons this man thinks he can change the world. Super Tuesday marks a day when everything in America is turned upside down. The country's political process is derailed again when a leading presidential candidate is targeted for assassination. Morrison is a filmmaker who's chronicled leaders before, and his brash, cavalier style has helped him uncover truths about each character. His goal of understanding how one becomes the most powerful person in the world is quickly overshadowed by the backroom deals Thornton enters. The road to the convention parallels the chaos of 1968, an America scarred by continued domestic terrorism, which creates panic and disrupts any sense of normality. The county also is battling foreign terrorist groups, just as it did in the sixties and seventies. Controlled Chaos weaves current events and historical parallels into its narrative, inviting readers to question who holds power in our country, the motivation behind seeking the presidency, and society's search for a hero. The book asks its readers to question everything but not succumb to baseless conspiracy theories. What is the real reason someone, or some group, wants to alter the course of history? Who sits behind our elected officials? What happens if the President and Vice President-elect are assassinated on November 6, before the official transfer of power occurs? Luke Morrison must find the connections between all these events and stop the unraveling of the American republic before the democrat experiment ends.
