Let’s face it. There are page-turners, and there are page-turners. But what I have
always appreciated about Brandt Legg’s books is he gives us that and so much more.Along with believable characters, great plots, and well-written prose, there’s sure to be a depth to his books, be it technical know-how verbiage, researched weapon terminology,or police and security methods. In this book, he once again shines, as he lets us in on a dirty political network filled with cover ups, terrorists, and conspiracy; a frighteningly real web that discloses an unqualified presidential candidate, the true underbelly of politics and ultimately, how human lives are completely expendable. Great read!
This author can take the present and explain it (or its possibilities) in a book that the reader does not want to put down. Everything that I’ve read by him is a mind challenge in an easy to read story. This one takes the reader behind the scenes in the American presidential election wrapped up in the control of the rich.
Great original story. Love the characters, especially Hudson!
CapWar Election was my first book by Brandt Legg. I was absolutely hooked, couldn’t stop reading, and am itching to get the next book in the series.
I’m normally a mystery reader, but CapWar Election may have turned me into a political thriller junkie. (That is, as long as the books are written by Brandt Legg.)
Against a backdrop of a heart pounding plot that just doesn’t stop, the characters in CapWar Election jump off the pages as memorable and beautifully fleshed out, and the writing is superb: a fast and error-free read.
I especially loved Mr. Legg’s main character, Hudson Pound, a hardworking, decent hardware store owner. He’s a good family man, he served and loves our country, and he’s the kind of guy you’d enjoy chatting with at your local hardware store. Yet, in spite of the good life he now lives, Hudson is haunted by a decades-old secret from his past.
When this everyman, this non-political, decent Joe is tapped for the presidential election by one of the richest men in the world, nobody can believe it, especially Hudson. His loving wife and children support the move though, because they believe in him and know he could change the world for the better.
Through corruption, lies, murder, sabotage, and more, Hudson races to the finish line with outstanding courage, while the reader flips pages as fast as he can.
Seriously, folks, this thriller needs to be made into a blockbuster movie. It is that good! Thank you, Mr. Legg, for this supremely satisfying read.

excellent book with a fictional premise based on the present political reality of the USA…couldn’t put it down and read the whole series
Brandt Legg is a masterful writer of thrillers and his latest series, The CapStone Conspiracy, does not disappoint. I finished the first book in the series (CapWar Election) in the wee small hours of the morning, unable to put it down.
The book starts off with what appears to be a domestic terror group who are plotting the overthrow of the American government. Then, the plot switches to an Ohio hardware store owner, Hudson Pound, who will soon find himself recruited to become the next Republican candidate for President.
Conspiracy theories and dark secrets abound in this novel and it seems there is no one you can trust. The pace is fast and intense and the characters are multi-faceted.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read and look forward to the next book in the series. 5 great big shiny stars!
An unexpected candidate runs for the Republican Party in the U.S. Presidential elections – no, it’s not a documentary of recent events in the States, ones which we are all only too familiar with, but the premise of Brandt Legg’s latest trilogy. Legg sets the events in a post-Trump era where he places an unsuspecting and innocent hardware store owner, Hudson Pound, in the hands of a billionaire who wants to make him the leader of the free world. As the events proceed, Pound comes under attack, literally and figuratively, on his electoral road, which leads to some intense action scenes throughout. That’s the essence of book 1 in author Legg’s latest trilogy and it just ramps up from there.
The novels take the reader on a fast-paced journey of deception and conspiracy as the protagonist and his immediate family discover the realities behind what they thought was a democratic system designed to elect the best man for the job. Add in a mysterious extremist terrorist group, which will stop at nothing to influence the results, and a dangerous personal secret Pound and two childhood friends try to keep the ever-vigilant Press, and his political opponents, from finding out, and the level of intrigue and skulduggery keep the pages turning in these tense thrillers.
Like his other three series, the ‘Capstone Conspiracy’ series will become a must-read for fans of Legg’s novels. More than just a run-of-the-mill political thrillers, they take a hard and critical look at real events and questions the understanding most of us have about the way the U.S. electoral system works, whilst at the same time entertaining us with a cracking tale of corruption and double-dealing. You will find you will be thinking about this series long after finishing the books. A great read – prepare for some late nights and feverish page-turning.
