The First Gentleman

By Kristina Bachman

Book Overview

Dr. Milton Stafford had nothing but love and support for his wife; charismatic, outspoken talk show host Meredith Nicholson, when she announced her intentions of running for President of the United States. If he had known what dark forces were at work against Meredith, their family and the country's survival, he might not have been so eager. Gerald Revo, The Commander in Chief, is just as popular. The man Meredith will ultimately face in the race, however, has a past filled with dark secrets. He's a ruthless Gulf War Veteran with a taste for blood, yet he's charmed the American voters with his tough talk and charisma. But he has an Achilles heel; he's afflicted with an illness, that baffles both science and government and only Meredith's husband Milton can develop the antidote to save him. Milton finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that not only threatens the life of his family, but the existence of America as a free nation. Meredith shocks the country and wins the Democratic nomination. Three days before the November election, Milton puts his horrible plan into effect. In the turmoil that ensues, Gerald Revo dies of a mysterious medical condition and his chief advisor is horrifically maimed. Meredith Nicholson becomes the 44th President of the United States and Milton Stafford becomes the country's "First Gentleman".

First Gentleman

When is Ms Bachman going to write a sequel? I throughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it especially during this election year.

Love it!!!!

"The First Gentleman" is one of the best books I have ever read. I sat in my backyard and finished the book in two days. I could not put it down. The plot twists kept me hooked from the start. I have since passed the book onto my husband, mom, family, and friends...everyone loved it. I can not wait for the sequel!!

A real page turner

"The First Gentleman" is a book that hooks you in the first chapters, and then makes it hard to put down until you finish the last chapter. The plot twists and turns in all the right places, keeping you wondering what is going to happen next. I can't wait for the sequel.

Perfect Timing for an Election Day Thriller

Kristina Bachman couldn't have picked better timing for the release of her debut novel, THE FIRST GENTLEMAN, a romantic thriller about the first female President of the United States, and her scientist-husband, the First Gentleman. The characters are well-drawn, the plot timely and intriguing, the conclusion, despite knowing the outcome from the beginning, exciting. You will be left wondering when the sequel will be released, and perhaps, who will be starring in the movie version!
