Join the adventure as one man accidentally becomes the leader of an independent political movement that nearly takes down the two-party system. The Republican and Democratic parties are colluding to prevent independent candidates and third parties from being heard. The system is broken. This is the thrilling and heartfelt story that so many hope will become a reality.

A Real Collusion is about a man who accidentally becomes the leader of an independent political movement that nearly takes down the two-party system in America, while exposing a conspiracy that affects the results of the 2016 election. It explores universal and deeply human themes of loss, and the tension between justice and power. In the opening sentence the narrator points out that, “Ordinary people often do extraordinary things.” The characters in the book do, and the action is driven by the fantastic events of a unique political satire.

This is the story of John Campbell (a regular guy from the lower east side of Manhattan) as recounted by his friend Skip Winters. Skip becomes John’s campaign manager and later, a congressman in his own right. He narrates the stunning-but-plausible story of how John Campbell and The American Coalition race to popularity, raising over a hundred million dollars from grassroots contributors—and become a threat to the political duopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties. The book sprinkles in references to real events from recent history, and real political leaders including Trump, John McCain, and more. This imbues the novel with a sense of realism, albeit one of an alternate reality. Skip discovers a deep-seated conspiracy within our political system whose leaders orchestrate a murder, destroy his friend and tip the scales of the election. The novel turns out to be Skip’s exposé of the secret collaboration between the two major political parties in our country—a cooperation to protect the duopoly that is, in part, real.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Midwest Book Reviews: "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."

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."

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."

About the Author

Stu Strumwasser studied in the creative writing program at Cornell University and then pursued dual careers as a writer and investment professional. His first novel, The Organ Broker, was published by Skyhorse (distributed by Simon & Schuster) in May of 2015 and short-listed as one of five finalists for the Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime writing. Lee Child (NY Times #1 bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series) hailed it as, "Exciting and thought-provoking-the perfect package."His band Channeling Owen, for which Strumwasser was the primary songwriter and drummer, was featured on hundreds of college radio stations in the late 1990s and an episode of Dawson's Creek when it was the number one television show in the world. The band was also featured alongside Blink-182 in a lengthy article in Forbes magazine in 1999 about how the internet was leveling the playing field in the music industry.Strumwasser is also the Founder & Managing Director of Green Circle Capital, a specialized merchant bank focused on advising food brands and investing in food-related technology. Prior to launching Green Circle, from 1990-2005, Strumwasser worked at major Wall Street firms (including Paine Webber and Oppenheimer & Co.). In 2006 he left finance temporarily and founded Snow Beverages to make a natural soda. He served as the company's CEO for six years.Leading up to the 2000 Presidential election, Strumwasser, who has been concerned with broken government for thirty years, consulted on fundraising for the Committee for a Unified Independent Party. He is an articulate and passionate speaker and has been interviewed on the WPIX NY morning news, "The Closing Bell" on Fox News, for the cover page of the money section of the NY Daily News, a six-page article in Forbes ASAP, Crain's NY, Timeout NY Kids (with his twins) and more. Strumwasser has also been mentioned or quoted in the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NY Post, Dow Jones, and been a speaker at NY Entrepreneur Week, Baruch, Columbia, Pace, NYU, and many more.

    A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser
    What I like about this book are the politic details, the how and why in step by step thoughts and events. Also enjoyed the people parts of this story and how different they all were but were voting for the same person. So many different angles.
    Skip meets John who is running under a new party and he's raising eyes on the topics that others have seen and witnessed and want to change the way elections are held. Love hearing of all the events during the book. At times the story goes back in time and then forward again, helping you understand the background of what happened.
    Appreciate all the name dropping and I like how Skip even travels to visit the shooter in upstate NY where he finds out even more than he wanted to know and understand about.
    After the shooting John just leaves, drops out of the race ... didn't see the ending as it did. Book is unpredictable all around. Learned a few new words and enjoyed the story. Would definitely read other works from this author. I felt at times as if I was standing right beside them during events. So vivid and realistic.
    Received this review copy from the author via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

    I received this ARC through "NetGalley" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

    This is a story about two friends who attended a community meeting where tempers took over and how John, the one who had a grievance regarding smoking cigars was able to bring an agreement with the other party and how one reporter's article began the establishment of a political party that was different from Democrat or Republican, This resulted in John's being recognized as the head and his friend Skip as the campaign manager. Their platform was to have the individuals who are elected do the will of the people and not that of their party. If this was done there would be more accomplished and less fighting between the two parties in the Senate and House of Representatives.

    Read along and discover the growth of this organization and how it eventually caused the establishment to try and eliminate the potential impact of elections for their party.

    The story proposes a lot of ideas that make sense and relates to how our government is currently performing. The book is well worth the read, don't miss out!

    5.0 out of 5 stars When Fiction Feels Like a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Power
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    I received a free advance reading copy of A Real Collusion through NetGalley, and it turned out to be a sharp, compelling, and surprisingly thought-provoking read.

    What stood out most is how convincingly the author blends fiction with the realities of modern American politics. The story never feels far-fetched—in fact, at times it feels uncomfortably plausible. The pacing keeps things moving, but it’s the underlying authenticity that really hooks you. The political dynamics, relationships, and motivations feel grounded in how power actually operates, not just how it’s portrayed on the surface.

    There’s also an undercurrent of tension throughout the book that builds steadily, making it hard to put down. Rather than relying on sensationalism, the author leans into nuance, which makes the story feel smarter and more relevant.

    In today’s environment, A Real Collusion reads less like pure fiction and more like a glimpse behind the curtain into the interconnected—and often opaque—world of American politics.

    If you enjoy political thrillers that feel realistic rather than exaggerated, this is absolutely worth your time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Thought-Provoking Literary Thriller
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    If you enjoy thought-provoking thrillers that explore big questions about power, influence, and the structure of modern systems, this may be a compelling read to add to your list.

    🔎 Reader Snapshot
    *Political thriller with a fictional conspiracy premise
    *An ordinary man drawn into a national movement
    *Themes of power, loyalty, and disillusionment
    *Blends satire, realism, and high-stakes storytelling

    Content Considerations: This book includes strong political themes and commentary, references to real-world political figures and events, and a premise that may be perceived as intense or polarizing, depending on the reader's preference.

    🌟 What Makes This Book Stand Out
    *A “David vs. the system” narrative with wide-reaching consequences
    *A blend of fictional storytelling with recognizable real-world elements
    *Focus on personal relationships within a high-stakes national conflict
    *Explores what happens when ordinary people step into extraordinary roles

    For readers who prefer lighter or less politically driven stories, this one may sit a bit outside your comfort zone—but it certainly offers plenty to think about.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and Suspenseful...A Must-Read!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    This was a truly compelling alternative history-meets-conspiracy thriller. The pacing makes the reader feel the adrenaline-fueled nature of the narrative, from the propulsive campaign to the shocking twists these two characters face as the conspiracy unravels. The author does a remarkable job of conveying the urgency and danger of the scenario playing out in the book through powerful imagery and mounting tension that takes over the story.

    Yet it was the rich character dynamics and themes that took over this narrative in the best way. The characters do represent the themes well, taking on a representative of the little guy facing down big brother politicians in an effort to take on corruption. The haunting similarities between the events in this book and our own reality in recent years, and the inclusion of real political figures, will draw the reader in as the conspiracy grows and the action fuels the story's atmosphere.
