It’s 1789, and Benjamin Franklin has an idea. Anticipating danger in the future, he discusses creating a secret amendment to the US constitution with Thomas Jefferson. The amendment contains instructions on how the American people can recall a rogue president. Jefferson doesn’t need much convincing and after he buries the amendment deep in a White House vault, it passes through history, forgotten. 

It’s 2022, and President Bribe is out of control in Washington DC. Not far away, on July 4, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington mysteriously awaken at Monticello and Mount Vernon. Confused about their circumstances, they sneak away from their magnificent homes. Meeting a few days later under the Washington Monument, the founders commence an epic adventure, traveling the country together, while being pursued by a PI and the FBI for a theft Jefferson purportedly committed at Monticello. They wonder why they’ve been brought back, does their nation need them again?

Everyone asks at some point,

“What would the founders think about all this?”

In a genre-bending debut novel,

Bryan Tenney has an answer you will not want to miss.
