READERS' REVIEW"The great novel is alive and well. Why isn't this on the bestseller lists? It is well written and author is incredibly well informed on world events. Miss at your peril."
~ R. G. Bedwell "This is the best novel I've read in a long time. Couldn't put it down. Vltchek owes me, he stole two workdays!"
~ Michael Schiffmann "This novel - endorsed by none other than Noam Chomsky - certainly does wonders in political consciousness raising. The first person narrator takes on the mantle of a war correspondent who traverses the world, trying to establish a semblance of the truth, in a world that is dominated by what a great political novelist long before Vltchek - George Orwell - has termed `newspeak', a world manipulated by big brother media corporations, dedicated only to greed and profit, where war is peace, where political dissent is punished by marginalization and alienation in the West, and worse - by death - in countries where the Western powers demand unyielding obedience.
The moral of the story is that we all should be prepared for history in the making, and that we all should make a stand in the hour of need, prepared to sacrifice our personal happiness, prepared to support the defenders of liberty, equality and fraternity. Scary thoughts in practice but ever so uplifting when in the realm of well written political fiction. Here the pen is mightier than the sword - as it always should be!" ~ Wolfgang B. Sperlich |
