Valin Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Don't Mess With Travis: A Novel Bob Smiley A cowboy governor finds himself the accidental leader of Texas's right-wing revolution in this irreverent, entertaining debut novel. Written with the comedic mastery of Christopher Buckley, Don't Mess with Travis tells the story of Ben Travis, a no-name Texas senator who becomes governor after a late-night accident takes the lives of the men ahead of him in the chain of command. Before the paint has even dried on his parking spot, the recently divorced Travis uncovers the latest Washington power grab and decides there’s only one solution: secession. The stunt pits Travis (and Texas) against the president, a golf-obsessed, progressive egomaniac with spotty leadership skills, and the liberal elites behind him, who will try every dirty trick to derail the new governor and hold on to the most prosperous state in the Union. Despite the doomsday threats from D.C., Travis forges ahead in a thrilling and hysterical quest to fight big government tyranny and restore sanity to the nation. In the tradition of Advise and Consent and Primary Colors, Bob Smiley's Don't Mess with Travis brilliantly lampoons all that’s wrong with present-day politics while waving the flag behind everything that’s right. At A Minimum do yourself a favor go to Amazon read the excerpt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
