“Congress has a lower approval rating than Hitler in some polls. And we just keep voting for the same 2 parties.”

“A work of original and deftly crafted fiction that will resonate with readers aware of the politics of today in the real world, A Real Collusion is an especially and unreservedly recommended pick.”  -Jim Cox, Midwest Book Review, January 2026


Literary Titan

“A hopeful movement can be bent or broken by a handful of people with money and no shame, and they made me uncomfortable in a way that felt earned rather than melodramatic.  The book made me angry, sad, and weirdly hopeful all at once… some righteous anger, and a stubborn streak of hope, you’ll enjoy this novel.” –Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan, Feb. 2026    


Feathered Quill

“A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser is a bold and politically charged novel, blending conspiracy, satire, and civic drama into a cautionary tale about the fragility of American democracy…  an ambitious and timely political thriller that challenges readers to reconsider the structure of American governance.”  -Alma Boucher, Feathered Quill, February 2026


The Bookish Elf

 “There is a particular kind of novel that does not simply tell a story but drops a match into the dry brush of your assumptions about how the world works. A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser is precisely that kind of book… one of the most gripping fictional political narratives in recent memory, complete with conspiracy, murder, and the kind of enduring friendship that keeps you turning pages long past midnight.” -February 2026


Reedsy Discovery

“Must Read.  A political thriller that grabs your attention, burrows deeper into what the voters want. To read it is to be engaged, inspired, and hurt, and see America in a new light.”  -Emily Omondi, Reedsy Discovery, March 2026


Linda Stasi, USA Today Bestselling author

“I cannot get Stu Srumwasser’s newest novel, A Real Collusion out of my head. As inside politics as Primary Colors, but as contemporary and frightening as the next election, A Real Collusion is a real knock-out! I love it.” Linda Stasi, USA Today Bestselling author, and Amazon Editor’s Pick and Top Literary Fiction pick for The Descendant. March 2026


The Independent Center newsletter, 4-3-2026

A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser is a “must-buy” because it turns the complex, often dry academic arguments for political reform into a gripping story that empowers the independent voter to stop being a spectator and start being a disruptor. April 2026
