My good friend, Bob Schaefer, just sent me his new novel and asked me to review it. Bottom line? I told him to change the cover.
WINTER RULES is not an insipid sports story. It is a story
about a United States ravaged by poverty, crime, corruption, starry-eyed
politicians and self-righteous bureaucrats who preach wealth equity and social
justice. Harry Sedlacek is one of these bureaucrats who just happens to love
golf.
When Harry is fired for operating his federal agency the same way he plays golf (bending the rules), he learns what life is like on the outside of the deep state looking in. No longer a privileged apparatchik toiling to implement the Fed’s cashless society, Harry is seduced by a radical new philosophy which is spreading across the world like wildfire -- the philosophy that love is barter and, when it is not, love is war.
As the story progresses, Harry falls in with desperate, freedom-loving Americans who defy the government by bartering in gold on the black market. He battles IRS agents who ruthlessly pursue and prosecute him. As his mind blurs the line between good and evil, he asks himself who are the good guys in the government’s brave, new cashless economy and who are the bad?
Harry Sedlacek is not a philosopher or an economist. He is a rational, ordinary American who must answer these questions to the best of his ability because his life and the life of the woman he loves depend on it.
WINTER RULES is a novel for our time. Finally, someone other than Ayn Rand created a novel with philosophical meat on its bones. To be honest, I couldn’t put my friend’s book down.
