Jackson Piper believed his time in Washington was over. After a stinging defeat, the idealistic ex-senator stepped away from backroom deals and partisan battles, aiming for a quieter life in the Colorado Rockies.

But when rumors of a plot to rig the presidential election come into focus, Piper is pulled back into a shadowy conflict where loyalty is currency, betrayal is a weapon, and survival depends on knowing—and breaking—the rules.

Just when the odds are stacked against them, Jackson Piper and his allies discover that the key to mounting a courageous campaign of reform against the forces of corruption is resurrecting the Bull Moose Party of Teddy Roosevelt.

In What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose, the explosive first chapter of Michael Fedor's award-winning trilogy, Piper's return to the political arena will ignite a high-stakes fight against those seeking to dismantle democracy. Along the way, he faces billionaire powerbrokers, party enforcers, media manipulation, political violence, and the moral challenge of staying true to his principles in a world built to break them.
