How to win an election:

1. Shake hands.

2. Kiss babies.

3. Travel through time.

"Politics is more difficult than physics," said Albert Einstein. Now that we can time travel, this is no longer true.

All the State House gossips go abuzz when an influential senator forms an alliance with Rep. Frannie Upwood, the capital's most famous underachiever and favorite butt of jokes. Why his sudden interest in such a lightweight politician?

It's up to Lars Uxbridge, the senator's disloyal staffer, to find out, after he joins a network of political spies. What Lars discovers is a secret far beyond anything other state reps can muster. To get ahead in politics, Frannie's got something better than snappy slogans, wealthy donors, and door-to-door volunteers.

She's got a time machine.

Frannie shows that when you're armed with time travel, you're the star athlete in a game where the world is your playing field, you make your own rules, and you always beat the shot clock.

But as Frannie will learn, this game has opponents to contend with. Rivals who might not play fair. When the prizes are enormous power, money, and control of time itself, watch out for cheat moves and low blows...

商品描述(中文翻譯)

如何贏得選舉：

1. 握手。
2. 親吻嬰兒。
3. 時間旅行。

「政治比物理學更困難，」阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦說。現在我們可以進行時間旅行，這不再是事實。

當一位有影響力的參議員與資本最著名的低成就者和笑話對象弗蘭妮·阿普伍德（Frannie Upwood）結盟時，州議會的八卦便開始喧鬧。為什麼他會突然對這位輕量級政治家產生興趣？

這一切都要由參議員的不忠助手拉斯·烏克斯布里奇（Lars Uxbridge）來揭開，他加入了一個政治間諜網絡。拉斯所發現的秘密遠超其他州代表所能掌握的。要在政治上取得進展，弗蘭妮擁有比聰明的口號、富有的捐助者和挨家挨戶的志願者更好的東西。

她擁有一台時間機器。

弗蘭妮展示了當你擁有時間旅行的武器時，你就是這場比賽中的明星運動員，世界是你的遊戲場，你制定自己的規則，並且總是能夠在時間限制內獲勝。

但正如弗蘭妮將會學到的，這場比賽有對手需要應對。可能不會公平競爭的對手。當獎品是巨大的權力、金錢和對時間本身的控制時，務必要小心作弊和卑鄙的手段……
