The Six Year Plan trilogy is here.
All three books. One audacious idea.
Glenn Canfield drives a ’95 Honda. He buys his own nails at the hardware store, where nobody recognizes him. He lives in a modest house in Harmon, Illinois — a town that died the day its anchor company took a $200 million tax incentive and moved to Texas, gutting a century of livelihoods with a ceremonial pen stroke.
Glenn Canfield is also a multi-billionaire. And he has spent six years planning something no one has ever attempted.
Not a coup. Not a scandal. Not a single broken law.
A plan.
The Premise That Won’t Let Go
Here’s the idea at the heart of The Six Year Plan, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it: American elections in the swing states are decided by margins of a few thousand votes. Meanwhile, thousands of small towns across the heartland are dying — the diner closing, the school consolidating, the young people gone.
So what happens if one man with nearly unlimited money hires fifteen thousand remote workers at well above market rates and relocates them — through real jobs, at real companies — into exactly those towns, in exactly those states?
He never tells anyone how to vote. He doesn’t have to. The research already knows how they will.
The towns get their lives back. The salaries land in that diner, that hardware store, that school district. And the political machine that hollowed out the heartland watches it happen in real time — knowing precisely what’s being done to it, and unable to find a single law being broken.
That’s not the twist. That’s Chapter One. The twist is what it costs.
Three Books. Three Election Cycles. One Endgame.
Book One — The Ledger is the recruitment story: a team assembled one wound at a time. The strategist who lost by 1,100 votes. The lawyer who wrote the rules. The journalist whose exposé got killed. The data savant who helped build the machine and wants absolution he’ll never ask for. The Kansas farm organizer who says no three times — and whose condition becomes the operation’s soul: the towns get their lives back, or I walk. It ends on an election night that reads less like a victory and more like a declaration of war.
Book Two — Compounding is the escalation: a presidential cycle, a candidate who carries the same wound Glenn does, and the machine finally waking up and hitting back with everything it has. The plan keeps working. That’s the frightening part. Because in this story, momentum has a price, and the ledger always balances.
Book Three — Settled is the endgame: the drive to 67 Senate seats — a conviction-proof supermajority — and the question the whole trilogy has been building toward. What do you do with that kind of power once you have it? And can the man who assembled it survive wanting it?
Why It Works
This isn’t a partisan fantasy, and it isn’t interested in being one. The trilogy’s real subject is structure — how a democracy actually gets captured, wound by wound, statute by statute, and what it would genuinely take to get it back. Its most compelling character may be the opposition’s cold-eyed strategist, the one man who sees the whole board and understands, years before anyone else, exactly what’s coming.
It’s a political thriller built on an iron rule: every victory costs something. No exceptions. Not for the heroes, not for the villains, not for the towns caught in between. The result is a story that’s propulsive as a heist novel — because that’s what it is, really, a six-year heist of an entire government, executed in broad daylight — and yet lands, again and again, in quiet kitchens and diner booths and dying Main Streets where the stakes are a school that stays open and a light that comes back on.
If you’ve ever looked at the state of things and thought someone should do something — this is the story of the man who did, what it took, and what it took from him.
The complete trilogy — The Ledger, Compounding, and Settled — is available now on Amazon.
