Jefferson and Hamilton Try to Save America with Rick and Lew - Paperback

by Roger P. Mourad (Author)

When Washington, D.C. spirals toward chaos, two of its most illustrious Founders are summoned from the grave.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton reappear in present-day America at the desperate request of President Duck, a commander-in-chief facing mass protests, political meltdown-and a baffling condition that limits him to walking only backward. Escorted by Rick and Lew, a pair of over-the-hill potheads, the constantly quarreling Founders blunder through the modern capital, colliding with Supreme Court justices, mobs of protesters, tourists, and an unhinged English soccer fan club.

As tensions rise and rival demonstrators converge on the White House steps, Jefferson and Hamilton must confront a nation that has taken their ideas to absurd extremes. With time running out and reality unraveling, they help Duck hatch a last-ditch plan to save the republic-assuming they don't tear it apart first.

A fast-paced, irreverent political satire that skewers power, protest, and the founding myths that America can't quite let go of.
