Paul Greenberg for A Third Term

There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself.

It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote.

A Third Term is a speculative fiction by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg in which a Democratic political operative snatches George Washington from his deathbed in 1799 and brings him to the present era. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, Washington will require considerable rehabilitation to pose a challenge to the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” But a wily, unorthodox campaign manager and a sexy, sympathetic personal trainer are up for the job.

Paul Greenberg is the author of seven books including the New York Times bestseller Four Fish and, most recently, A Third Term. A regular contributor to the Times and a frequent guest on national television and radio including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Mr. Greenberg lectures widely at institutions ranging from TED to Harvard University. His PBS Frontline documentary The Fish on My Plate was among the most viewed Frontline films of the last few years. Mr. Greenberg teaches in New York University’s Animal Studies graduate program and lives at Ground Zero in Manhattan, where he produces (to his knowledge) the only wine grown and bottled south of 14th Street.
