Banquet Before Dawn by Warren Adler is a political literary drama, originally published by Putnam in 1976, and now offered free courtesy of the author himself as promo for his upcoming new novel in September.

As a bonus, Adler reminisces about Watergate, having been acquainted with several of the major players as a political consultant at the time, in a blogpost, if you are interested.

Anyway, free for the next week without DRM in your choice of ePub or Mobi @ the author's website in exchange for your name and email.

There's some kind of promo giveaway contest for a Kindle Fire, and if you like, you can enter my giveaway code 61817959 in the box when requesting the freebie (you will get your own code to pass around to friends and family and random strangers on the internet).

Description
The last hurrah of an aging Irish politician pursuing his final campaign.

After serving his Brooklyn district for years, Congressman Sullivan discovers that his once comfortable Irish American majority has given way to a diverse district of blacks and Hispanics.

Challenged by a more liberal opponent, he tries everything possible to maintain his seat only to painfully learn that he and his views are outdated and irrelevant to today's world. But he doesn't bow out of the race gracefully, and the fierce ensuing campaign brings new insights to the meaning of democracy and the terrors of a swiftly changing world.

If, as it is said, all politics are local, this compelling story transcends politics and puts a human face on how the American democratic system really operates. Unforgettable characters and a powerful plot offer a remarkable and tense story of how tragic endings affect new beginnings.
