Film of the day: КАРИТАН ВОЛКОИОГОВ БЕЖАЛ (CAPTAIN VOLKONOGOV ESCAPED, dir Natasha Merkulova & Aleksey Chupov, 2021) Thoughtful, kinetic chase thriller set in 1938 Leningrad, propelled by paranoia politics, that reveals itself halfway through as an urgent melodrama of guilt and redemption.

5 of 5 stars for Executive Actions by Gary Grossman

goodreads.com/review/show/5495

This is the first book by Gary Grossman I have read. It was an absolutely fabulous read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys political thrillers.

Book description: "The best political thriller I have read in a long time, right up there with the very best of David Baldacci." -Michael Palmer, bestselling author of THE SOCIETY "Grossman has done a lot of research on everything from political infighting to clandestine military operations, and he manages to hold reader interest right up to the inevitable conclusion." -Publisher's Weekly An assassin takes aim at a Presidential candidate during a primary stump speech. The instant he pulls the trigger, the outcome of the election is irrevocably changed. But Democrat Teddy Lodge, an upcoming media sweetheart, isn't killed. His wife is. As a result, Lodge emerges as the man to beat and the greatest threat to the incumbent President, Morgan Taylor. Under a specific directive from the President, Special Service Agent Scott Roarke delves into the case and begins to unravel a deadly plot that incubated for more than 30 years; designed to alter America's allegiances in the Middle East. From the very first page, Executive Actions culls events from today's headlines intersecting with a scenario that's shockingly real: An insidious plot hatched in the old days of the Soviet Union continues to grow to fruition in the hands of a power hungry Middle East heir to the throne. At its core, a sleeper is awakened to take a prominent role in American Life. Executive Actions is a tense political thriller; an election year page-turner, where both the Presidency and the Constitution are at stake.

Just wrote a postmortem for my game "A Chinese Room", which is a great excuse to post about it.

A one or two reader experience, A Chinese Room is one story in two, an outsider's impression of Russia, a story of power, control, inhumanity, and love.

It is, in my opinion, the best thing I've ever written.

You can find the game here: milomesdag.itch.io/a-chinese-r

Here's a new portrait of Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein for today's prompt!
