Preserve, Protect, and Defend by Chuck Morgan is a high-stakes political thriller that grabs you from page one and refuses to let go. After losing a contentious presidential election, Senator Oliver Stevenson refuses to step aside gracefully. Instead, he orchestrates a full-blown coup, backed by a cabal of political conspirators and armed extremists. With the fabric of democracy under attack, elite operative Mike Branik is called into action to uncover the truth and stop the takeover before the country descends into chaos. As Branik and his team race against time, they face assassins, double-crosses, and traitors in the halls of power. Every twist raises the stakes, and every decision could tip the balance between constitutional collapse and national salvation.
Author Chuck Morgan knows how to write a thriller that feels both urgent and disturbingly plausible. I couldn’t stop turning the pages, partly because of the relentless pacing and partly because it feels so scarily relevant. Branik is the kind of hero you want in your corner because he's sharp, determined, and grounded in a real sense of duty. I wanted to root for him from the first moment he entered the scene, and the action sequences are tight and cinematic to follow him through every move. For me, though, the political intrigue and the chilling realism definitely left the biggest impact. Morgan doesn’t just deliver excitement; he offers a thought-provoking look at the fragility of power and the cost of complacency. Overall, Preserve, Protect, and Defend is a smart piece of action thriller fiction that I'd highly recommend to everyone.
