Reviews / Votes
Praise for Steve Powell's Term Limits:"Brilliant and timely political who-done-it." -- Alan Steele-Nicholson, press officer for former US Senator Jacob Javits
"Mr. Powell is one h*** of a storyteller." -- D. W. Hawk, Amazon reviewer
"A real page turner, this psychological thriller holds many truths - both spoken and unspoken - about America's current political problems. Term Limits is dark, violent, but also very passionate about how political corruption damages the live of ordinary Americans. This novel could be required reading for all readers no matter what their political views." -- Amazon Review
"Steve Powell has walked a literary tightrope that skillfully balances him between a fast paced whodunit and a concise, well reasoned political dissertation on term limits. As a thriller, the plot will pull you into a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns that will keep you turning pages long into the night. As a political OpEd, the book persuasively and poignantly argues for term limits in a way that should cause both Democrats and Republicans to finally agree on something. Powell does all of this while bringing us into the heart and mind of the killer. Fun, thought provoking and scary, all at the same time. 5 Stars." -- Amazon Review
