From the very first page of The Nomination, you will find yourself asking questions. Slowly, Williams weaves a tale that will ultimately provide the answers you are seeking. The book opens with an election celebration party. As a result of the election, new political opportunities emerge for several African American politicians.
Through this enjoyable novel, Williams addresses a myriad of serious political issues, especially those relating to African Americans. He also explores such issues as crime, substance abuse, and family values. Ultimately, this is a story about choices and sacrifices that will have you wondering whether political success is worth it's price tag. I was impressed by how well the author was able to demonstrate how the character's personal lives were influenced by their career choices or the career choices of family members. I also appreciated the fact that although this book had it's share of scandal and characters that seemingly did not have a moral bone in their body, the author also included a primary character that acted on his beliefs and values. This provided a wonderful balance among the male characters in the book. The only thing I disliked about the book was the fact that there were so many weak female characters. In spite of this, I felt I could understand, relate to and feel for all the characters in some way.
Williams has written a sharp political mystery that is indeed a page turner. It is pleasant to read a political novel featuring a cast of African American characters. Even though this was a work of fiction, I felt as if I got an inside look at what African American political life is like. Read this book with caution, because once you pick it up you will not want to put it down until you have read the last page.

Congressman George Taylor has an opportunity to make history. As an influential U.S. Congressman, campaigner and good friend to President-Elect McKinley Collins, he will soon be announced as the first black nominee for Attorney General of the United States. His assistant Reginald Dawson is expected to succeed him his congressional seat once his he is confirmed. The nomination and confirmation process is an uphill battle from the beginning. A secret about his daughter Corky can be enough to end his chances but this secret is only the beginning. He must contend with a white segregationist senator who is heading the confirmations hearings and threatening to oppose George if he doesn't support him in his quest to end home rule in Washington D.C. The black politicians and black clergy, lead by the wily Reverend Washington also have agendas which George is expected to support. As background investigations begin he and Reginald work to keep these factions, the press and investigators at bay and Reginald attempts to protect George from the secret he knows about Corky. As Corky's secret spirals out of control Reginald is forced to own up to what he knows. Not only is he in the middle of Corky's issues, he is also in the middle of a love triangle with the secretary of George's political rival who happened to previously employ Reginald's fiancé. Both George and Reginald struggle to make the best decisions they can in the most difficult situations they've ever faced. The struggles for both men are intertwined and the end result as they both work through the issues is surprising and dramatic.
The Nomination is more than politics as usual. Not only does this book have the element of scandal that we're unfortunately use to observing but it gives a humanness that perhaps we don't see as much. The characters deal with questions of loyalty and friendship, love and family as ordinary citizens do. Added to this mix is the unique dynamics of the black political structure and the influence of the black clergy on the political process, making the Nomination well worth the read.

WOW just begins to describe this book. This was not what I expected so I got more than what I expected. As soon as I finished reading the book, turned it over and started again. Could not get enough! I'm even thinking of reading it for the third time!
If you have thought about buying this book, go for it! You will not be diappointed.
Fred, give me more! When will the next book be out?

I was pulled into the characters, events, locations and was kept on edge. The story line had movie rights written all over it. I could visualize everything I read and I am a first time reader. With the current events that is going on in the Whtie House and the Washington Metropolitan Area, the author captured the political climate in the African American community as it exist across the country, the essence of the drug culture and street life. Although "The Nomination" is a fiction, it is quite believable. This is a must read. Looking forward to the author's next novel.

I have read all of the John Grisham's thrillers and a friend told me that I should read Frederick Williams' The Nomination because it is also a thriller and that friend was definitely right. Once you read chapter 1 you won't be able to put it down until you finish it. He tweeks your interest with his secret character prisoner number 14, you will want to read on to find out who that prioner is and what crime he committed. Congratulations to Frederick Williams because he matched Grisham's ability to capture the readers' attention and keep you reading until the end.

I enjoy the author's real life approach to his stories. This was good reading and a good storyline.

In The Nomination, author Frederick Williams pens a gripping tale that weaves drama, intrigue, love, and politics into a wonderfully entertaining mystery.
Mr. Williams' vivid character portrayals and descriptions of our Nation's capitol demonstrate his mastery of the artform as well as his extensive knowledge of Capitol Hill and the Washington, D.C. area.
Readers will find this book thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
