Book Description
“It scares the hell out of me. Every day, politics gets closer to the reality you project.”—Bob Cone, inventor of Liquid LightThe second strike is on.John Galt's strike of the “men of the mind” brought down Roger Thompson's dictatorship and ushered in a conservative dream: no taxes, regulations, or social programs. The end of government services such as policing, firefighting, and infrastructure-building has created a vacuum filled by unscrupulous and unregulated businesses that few can afford. With no safety or labor standards, most Americans have abandoned their homes to work several jobs in the cities. After eight years of living in a dog-eat-dog wasteland, America has elected liberal Senator Laurence Sterling (D-VT) president.Mere days before Sterling's inauguration, twenty-six-year-old World Times reporter Evelyn Riley hears that in recent months both absenteeism and productivity have risen at General Motors, one of the two remaining automobile manufacturers in Detroit, and decides to investigate. Her mother's death decades before reminds her daily of the importance of family and human connections. Little does Evelyn know that John Galt is planning his return to fight Sterling, or that this time a new generation of labor leaders is preparing a strike of its own.“If you have ever read Atlas Shrugged, whether you liked it or not, you really should read this book.”—David Scott Moyer “I really like your quote 'I live for Humanity, and I ask Humanity to live for me (and for everyone else).' That's the way it should be.”—Paul Buchheit, professor of economic justice at DePaul UniversityFor more information, please view sisyphusshruggedbook.com or robertpeate.com.

Pages : 124
Book Description
Nik was out of Higgins's league, until he fell into his arms. Nik was too sizzling hot. Too unattainable. Being Nik's butler made Higgins’s head spin. Higgins is over Nik, mostly. Higgins never turns on the radio. He covers his ears if anyone talks about alpha rock stars. And he never, ever sifts through those memories. He doesn’t need that kind of roller coaster. Until the roller coaster pulls up at Higgins's front gate. Nik still has the muscles, the blue eyes, the guitar case, and the goatee. But something’s different. Nik shouldn't have loved his bandmate. Or he shouldn't have loved anybody. That's even better. Nik will crash at Omegaverse for a while. It's not supposed to last. But Higgins wakes up with morning sickness. Nik is too dangerous, too unpredictable, too alpha. Higgins will have to be a single father. Unless Higgins can find another chance with the red-hot alpha who still makes his head spin. Second Chance With the Unforgettable Alpha is a feel-good non-shifter mpreg romance between a nerdy manny and a reforming bad boy rock star. It's full of alpha strength, omega sass, outdoor showers, innovative uses of the Jeopardy! theme song, an adorable baby, and a big HEA for two fathers in love.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
“I think we need to be beholden to each other.” The second strike is on. This sequel/rebuttal to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged tells the astounding story of what happened in society after John Galt's declaration of independence. As America suffers capitalism run amok, journalist Evelyn Riley uncovers a mystery that takes her on a quest from slave-wage New York to the burned-out ruins of Detroit and beyond. The return of John Galt will cause repercussions for America and the World. John Galt's strike of business leaders opposed to the overbearing leftist Thompson Administration resulted in a pendulum swing rightward. The Administration was defeated in the next elections by Richard “Rick” West, a fierce opponent of organized labor. He began to end regulations, social programs, and the taxes to pay for them, despite the outcry of those whose lives depended on them. Death, disease, and crime increased dramatically. The survivors slave away at two or three jobs a day without unions, safety standards, weekends, or a minimum wage. Evelyn Riley was one of the last to obtain a decent job before the changes hit. A political liberal, she abhors what has been done to America by West and his successor, David Lang. She supported Lang's opponent, Laurence Sterling, in the most recent election. Sterling, a liberal, vowed to restore America's labor laws and standards, progressive taxation, and the social programs for which America had been known the World over. Elected over the intense opposition of Lang's supporters, Sterling will take office in a matter of weeks. One day in January 2029, mere days before the Sterling inauguration, Evelyn's boss shares a rumor from a friend in the Government: both productivity and absenteeism at General Motors, one of the two remaining car companies in Detroit, have increased in recent months. Intrigued and asked to investigate, Evelyn embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. Little does she know that John Galt is planning his return to fight Sterling, or that this time labor is not going to stand idly by. A new generation of labor leaders is preparing an action and a prescription of its own. The many who discovered Robert Peate's The Recovery to be one of the most original and challenging stories in years will find in Sisyphus Shrugged an equally original and uncompromising view of how to govern the physical world presented with the same storytelling power. Of this work, Robert says, “It is my goal, with this work, to provide not only a sequel but a rebuttal, to show Rand's limits and flaws for the betterment of society. In contrast to John Galt, I live for Humanity, and I ask Humanity to live for me (and for everyone else). I say the World owes everyone a living. Anyone who thinks otherwise does not share my morality.” Join Evelyn Riley as she learns that with change comes danger. For more information, please visit sisyphusshruggedbook.com.
