The Seed: A Ironic Political Thriller

The new U.S. President is a truly ruthless scoundrel! - in this tangled tale of intrigue and power struggle

Jon McDonald is the author of The Seed which has been called the world’s #1 page turning, spellbinding, “can’t put down,” satirical political thriller. As an author, Jon’s mission is to provide readers with stories that delight and entertain so they can enjoy a pleasurable respite from their busy day to day lives. Readers describe turning the last page of McDonald’s books not only feeling completely satisfied, but also wanting more.

His stories are exciting - fast paced and captivating. They are filled with intriguing plots, imaginative locales and storylines that make you think about real issues in an engaging way. His readers are selective - typically enjoying the works of other notable peers in the field including David Baldacci, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, and James Patterson.

Unlike other thriller authors in the genre who miss the opportunity to portray strong female characters, engaging romantic scenes or plots that tackle the issue of marriage equality, McDonald's work does so extremely well.

Jon’s readers are just as likely to be found listening to classical music, NPR, traveling abroad, shopping at local farmer’s markets, preparing gourmet food or walking the halls of the Hermitage, the Met, or the Louvre as they are reading his humorous, intelligent stories written for an audience who shy away from run of the mill writing.

The president’s activist son, Diego, discovers his father conspired with the CEO of a major oil company, and the dictator of Venezuela to manipulate the oil markets, causing high gas prices, and ensuring his election as a drill friendly president.

Diego’s environmental action group exposes the President’s illegal act, unleashing a firestorm of criticism against the president, and several nasty murder attempts against Diego by the big oil CEO.

The President’s troubles only increase as a mistress comes forward, claiming to be carrying his child; his wife sues for divorce; and the dictator of Venezuela invades neighboring countries to control their oil, and threatens the U S with an attack of donated North Korean nuclear missiles if the U S tries to intervene.

And this is only a small part of this tangled tale of intrigue and struggle for power. Diego and the President each try to take control of this out of control situation. But many surprising twists and turns finally lead to an unexpected resolution.
