Seneca Speaks, Part I, Minding the Mind (Paperback or Softback)

A thriller filled with political intrigue, fascinating characters, and deeper philosophical truths, Seneca Speaks is an epic story about Washington, DC, power players—and the ways their lives become inexorably linked within a web of influence, money, and greed.

In the great tradition of Tolstoy, Hardy, and Rand, author C. Wade Spencer paints a panoramic portrait of the men and women who grapple with questions of purpose, identity, and ethics against a backdrop of congressional might and economic opportunity.

Meet Ethan, a once-successful newspaperman who finds himself falling for someone with connections that could undo him, and David Samuel, president of the Citizens’ Mandamus Council, who struggles to preserve his place in light of the quickly changing societal landscape.

Senator Hubert Riley wants to challenge David and his watchdog organization in order to protect his own interests—and maintain a network of manipulation that stretches across the city. Luckily, anchorwoman Abigail Sanders takes her responsibility to investigate the powerbrokers seriously…even at great personal cost to herself.

Riveting, sweeping, and powerful, Seneca Speaks is sure to change the way you view the hallowed halls of our nation’s Capitol.
