Beschreibung
The main theme of my novel is about redemption for the main character, but it is also about finding what divides us as citizens who as liberals and conservatives are at ever increasing odds." Mangles says. Within these pages, he challenges the prevailing jurisprudence on victimless crimes and redefines the role of the government as he believes the founding fathers intended. As he says, this book is for those with similar views on ending what he calls the leviathan bureaucracy, as well as political action groups and lobbyists, the search for a "just tax" and so on. Mangles provides a treat for those of such persuasions and fellow travelers. "Many years ago, I began to see the growing, political divide in our society. This motivated me to search for an answer as to why. I grew up in the time of Kennedy when the distinctions between the two parties did not seen to be great." Mangles explains. While his narrative keeps readers on the edge of their seats, there is no mindless carnage or cheap thrills. It challenges the status quo but does so peacefully. "I would like my prospective readers to know there is no violence in my book, and I included absolutely no profanity, not even a "damn" or "hell" is to be found. I wanted the language to be nothing more than beautiful prose." If the reader understands my polemic, then one more amendment to the Constitution should be added to restore to us, as citizens, the freedom we should all aspire to.
DAVID MANGLES is a graduate of Grand Valley State University, Michigan, and majored in psychology. He has had a variety of occupations including uranium mining on the Continental Divide, part owner of a delicatessen, and worked in special education within the Grand Rapids school district.
"...a philosophically charged novel"
"Debut author Mangles displays impressive erudition on a range of topics."
