If Nightmare Scenario gave you that visceral thrill of watching institutional collapse in real-time—ego clashing with incompetence while the cameras rolled—then This Will Not Pass is your next fix. Martin and Burns wield the same scalpel-sharp reporting to dissect the Trump-Biden transition and its aftermath, peeling back the curtain on clashing ambitions, bureaucratic meltdowns, and the human frailties that turned governance into spectacle.
This isn't partisan bloodsport; it's accountability journalism for adults who demand receipts. The character portraits crackle with the same intimate, infuriating detail that made you throw Nightmare Scenario across the room—then pick it back up.
If you're still angry about what you learned last time, this book confirms you were right to be.
