I'm happy to announce the publication of my first nonfiction book, LEVER
ACTION -- a collection of 20 years' worth of essays, columns, and speeches.
The truth is, I'm as excited about this as I was when my first novel, The
Probability Broach, was published.
A couple of years ago, I was surprised to discover that many more readers
seem to know me for my short political writings than for the 23 novels that bear
my name. Now, within the pages of LEVER ACTION, you'll have a chance to
find out why.
Behind
the wonderful, colorful, silly cover of LEVER ACTION -- another Scott
Bieser masterpiece, and the best graphic ever to appear on any of my books:
You'll read "The American Lenin", a warm, fuzzy, loveable little
article about Abraham Lincoln that for some reason never fails to start an
international flame-war, whenever it's reposted on the internet.
You'll learn the horrible -- and hilarious -- fate that befell my junior high
school principal, the very first "bedwetting liberal" I ever met.
You'll see what I did to Canada's leading political magazine when that
scruffy little rag made the stupid mistake of calling me a racist.
You'll find out why I believe that science fiction may be a dying art -- and
what can still be done about it.
And you'll remember, with me, what the great Robert A. Heinlein meant -- and
continues to mean -- to all of us.
Along the way, LEVER ACTION will offer you my views on victim
disarmament (I coined the term "Vermont Carry"), Ruby Ridge and Waco,
Feinstein and Schumer, Republicans in general, smoking, Bill of Rights
enforcement, social (and other sorts of) Darwinism, how I predicted the collapse
of the Soviet Empire, why I knew that Y2K would never amount to anything, what
it will take to make America fulfill its promise, and why I hate fast-food
breakfasts.
At 463 pages, LEVER ACTION is a big, fat, soul-satisfying book
containing dozens of items that will amuse, elate, and enrage at the same time.
It's the very thing for all of those who are fed up with the pastel, puny, and
pusillanimous pronouncements of established conservatism and libertarianism.
It's also an absolutely perfect gift to give to those on the left whose
actuarial life-expectancies you're interested in shortening. (I haven't caused a
stroke or A heart attack yet, at least that I can prove, but I keep on trying.)
Buy it now and my wife, my daughter, and three figure-skating coaches will thank
you.
