What if the cure for cancer could also determine how you vote?
Dr. Francis Popolous believes his genetic research could save millions of lives. Instead, his breakthrough reveals something far more dangerous: a biological key capable of identifying—and potentially influencing—a person’s political disposition.
Powerful people immediately recognize what that discovery could mean. Elections would no longer need to be won. Voters would no longer need to be persuaded. The outcome could be engineered before anyone entered a polling booth.
As bodies begin to fall and the conspiracy reaches into the highest levels of wealth and political influence, Derrick Driver is drawn into a race to uncover the truth before human choice itself becomes obsolete.
Programmed to Win is a fast-paced political conspiracy thriller about genetic discovery, election manipulation, and what happens when science gives the wrong people the power to control democracy.
