Terrell Warren is a rising star within the Democratic Party. Buoyed by his exploits in Desert Storm, the two-term senator is poised to enter rarified air as an African-American politician, possessing the charisma, the political pedigree, his Obama-esque looks–and picture-perfect wife by his side–that could have him sitting in the Oval Office as Commander-in-Chief in the not-so-distant future.

Forces in the shadows who are not happy with the senator’s ascension have devised the perfect leverage to derail the momentum of the powerful statesman, centered around the abduction of his newlywed bride. It’s a race against the clock to find her, while dealing with the potential consequences should he decide not to comply with her abductors’ extraordinary demand–one that threatens to revert American foreign policy to the previous century’s Cold War history.

In Service to the Senator is the latest explosive tale from best-selling author Shakir Rashaan, where sometimes, politics make the strangest of bedfellows–and enemies.
