How would you feel if you no longer feared
your government ... ?
What would you do first if you were elected President of the United
States?
Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, who brought you The Mitzvah
(Free-Market.net's "Freedom Book of the Month" for July, 1999),
now present their answer to that question in an exciting sequel
they call Hope.
Hope is the story of Alexander Hope, a young American who
comes back from Vietnam, falls in love with a bright, beautiful
girl, and with her starts a pioneering computer business. Thirty
years later he's a billionaire, and alone in life. He decides to
leave everything he created behind to write books and teach history
at a private college.
Almost
as a joke, Alex allows a handful of admiring students to enlist
him as a candidate for a third party Presidential nomination. His
brief campaign rests on a single promise: to enforce the first ten
amendments to the U.S. Constitution -- commonly known as the Bill
of Rights -- exactly like the highest law of the land they happen
to be. And in a series of astonishing but perfectly plausible political
events, he's amazed to discover that he's headed for 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue.
From his office in the White House, President Hope labors to bring
a swollen, murderous, runaway government under control by binding
it "with the chains of the Constitution" -- an objective that would
end at least 90% of all government activities -- while the enemies
of liberty at both ends of the political spectrum (and within his
own party, as well) attempt to obstruct, discredit, impeach, and
even kill him.
Along the way, readers witness the birth-struggles of Presidential
policies rooted in the rule of law -- what Alex calls "Bill of Rights
enforcement". By turns, he confronts a bloated military, a brutal
police establishment, and a corrupt judiciary. (Wait'll you see
what he does to the Forest Service!) He dumps the deadly victim
disarmament (gun control) efforts of past regimes, declares an end
to the War on Drugs, and gives the UN 24 hours to get out of town.
Besieged by Democrats, Republicans, and hostile Old Media, Alex
fights to get the government out of the way of ordinary people so
they can fully realize the American Dream: to strive, prosper, and
eventually reach for the stars.
Some
readers won't care for Hope: those who can't tolerate individual
liberty, those who are racists and anti-Semites. Hope pulls
no punches. It separates "the chaff from the wheat"; "the sheep
from the goats"; those who truly believe in all the Bill of Rights
for all the people from those who don't; those prepared to act from
those who'd rather just complain; those who have grown so comfortable
with their status as victims that it has become their identity.
But say what you will, without someone like Alex -- soon -- America
has no hope.
Hope is full of extraordinary characters, both good and
evil, some of whom readers met earlier in The Mitzvah. It's
a story of one man's love for his country -- and for the principles
that brought it into being -- for his family, for his friends, and
especially for Dana Li, the lovely and brilliant young internet
reporter who believes in him.
See how one man drags a whole country, kicking and screaming, into
the 21st century and makes it the century of the Bill of Rights.
See how one man brings the grand ideas and ideals of the Founding
Fathers back to life.
Order Hope today. Read it and find out for yourself how
you can help bring the concept of Bill of Rights enforcement back
home to America.

What They're Saying About Hope
Any political philosopher can hammer out a speech, but Aaron Zelman
and L. Neil Smith also prove themselves to be sensitive dramatic
architects by whittling characters so compelling and trustworthy
that by the time the speech comes, we're dying to listen. HOPE's
greatest gift, though, is its sheer clarity about the original undiluted
mission of the Bill of Rights, seen through the eyes of people who
really believe in sticking to it. This novel should be required
reading in every school and public office. Dare you to read it,
America!
-- Diane Carey, New York Times Bestselling author
of Chainmail, Invasion, First Strike, Distant Drums and Best
Destiny
******
Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith have written a compelling, visionary
novel about how life in America would be radically improved if we
had a President who actually believed in the Bill of Rights.
-- James Bovard, columnist and author
******
Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, authors of The Mitzvah,
now offer up Hope, a spell-binding novel of politics and
passion that will appeal to women as well as men. Hope offers
valuable insight on how to reverse the crimes against our Constitution
that have incrementally stolen the liberty of Americans.
-- Dr. Joanne D. Eisen, Dr. Paul Gallant
******
No matter what your political leanings are, if you really believe
in freedom you will find Hope an intriguing and fascinating
read of what could be.
-- Jeff Ritchie, independent film producer
******
If just one real politician's principles approached those of Zelman
and Smith's protagonist, Alexander Hope, there would still be "hope"
for our fast-fading republic. Perhaps their latest novel will inspire
one. We can only "hope".
-- John C. Taylor, columnist and internet editor
******
In Hope, Aaron Zelman and Neil Smith give us a smorgasboard
of broad hints and tantalizing visions of how America could be,
and should be, remade into "the Land of the Free'. The only way
Hope could be better is if it were longer.
-- David Anderson, Canadian freedom activist
******
Hope is an engaging political fairy tale that sets a high
standard against which real-life "libertarian" politicians ought
to be measured."
-- Scott Bieser, proprietor of LibertyArtworx.com
******
Aaron and Neil have done me a great favor by providing their new
novel Hope -- it's a sort of roadmap for getting from here
(injured and usurped) to there ("sweet land of liberty"). It helped
me feel better about the world my grandchildren will inherit.
-- Ken Holder, webmaster and political advocate
******
Hope is a celebration of human potential. Some people will
hate it because it rubs our noses in the fact that this country
has turned its back on the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence,
and, more fundamentally, common sense and human decency. Many of
us have done our best to keep the flickering flame of freedom alive.
Zelman and Smith are spraying lighter fluid on it. We may have the
Uncle Tom's Cabin of the 21st Century here.
-- Rex F. "Baloo" May, cartoonist and political observer
******
Hope reads like a political manifesto with wings.
-- Anders Monsen, Editor emeritus, Prometheus
