Synopsis

Millions of Americans are closely following the national election process as President Harold Miller faces two challengers from within his own party for the nomination at the upcoming Republican Convention. Short by 211 delegates, Miller must deal with either Jerrod Wyman, his own former vice president, or Leonard Graham, former speaker of the US House of Representatives. Not in many years has the nation witnessed a brokered convention. All the party in fighting will certainly tear the GOP apart. Wyman has plenty of money and Graham a pocketful of dirty tricks. Senator Tom Evans has already locked up the votes needed for his own nomination during the upcoming Democratic convention in Baltimore. There is little doubt in his mind that South Carolina Senator Randy Fisher is the right man to be his running mate. Regardless of the outcome of the Republican convention, the DNC is confident their candidates can remove President Miller or win against the other challengers.The Democratic campaign appears to be working perfectly as they leave their convention and make the final run for the White House. The polls are showing a growing tide of support for the two senators. They appear unstoppable to the Republicans until an event, never thought possible, derails the perfectly planned Democratic campaign.Levels of Power: The Vice President tells the back room story of politics at the highest level. Politics at it’s best. Politics at it’s worst.

About this title

About the Author

At 15 years of age, Mike Gilmore started working for his uncle's wholesale firm selling candy and tobacco products to small, family owned grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. He became the general manager by the time he was 23. It was a male dominated business at the time, and he worked with men who had lived through the Great Depression and World War II. From their personal lives, he learned the work ethics he still uses today. In 1986, he shifted to the wholesale electrical and plumbing distribution business where he started to learn his current trade. He filled positions as operation manager, branch manager, and regional branch manager in Ohio, Florida, and finally the coastal area of South Carolina. In 2003, he took a position with one of the world's largest and most respected manufactures of plumbing fixtures for both residential and commercial products. He has worked as an account manager, market development specialist, and now as a national account manager, servicing only one trade distributor that covers the United States, Mexico, and Canada with a sales force of over 1,100 associates. He is the author of the five previous "Levels of Power" novels featuring United States Senator Randy Fisher. He released a little gem called "The Toilet Salesman...The Oh So Necessary Guy". The book covers incidents from 25 years of selling plumbing and electrical products. In between the Levels of Power novels, he started the SLED Investigation series with The Lace House Murder and The Capital Center Murder. With his wife Cheryl, they wrote a science fiction novel titled 12-24-36. The Tales From the Azalea Cottage is a collection of short stories that offers a break from the every day tensions. He lives with his wife and two cats in South Carolina. Their names are Pokey and Pepper.
