*****
“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
*****
“A spell-binding novel of politics and passion that will appeal to women as well as men.”—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

This review is from: Hope (Mass Market Paperback)

An entertaining vision of what would happen if a candidate from outside of the conventional two party political mainstream became president.

A billionaire entrepreneur with a libertarian style philosophical streak on govermnent runs as a third party candidate, and through a series of chance occurences is elected president.

It is a viewpoint broadening vision of what could be -- somewhat along the lines of L. Neil Smith's "Probability Broach."

This review is from: Hope (Paperback)

Especially in these dark political & socioeconomic times, this appropriately-titled book shed a beam of light on what COULD be if things were to turn around. As always, L Neil Smith delivers an entertaining story that carries a strong message of rational self-determination and the celebration of embracing one's personal freedom.

This review is from: Hope (Mass Market Paperback)

I finished this book in two days and was ready for more.

I've read most of the current (and not so current) libertarian literature and this is among the best.

I like this book better than "The Mitzvah", but "The Mitzvah" is certainly worth reading. It is much better than its reviews would indicate and it introduces you to some of the characters in "Hope".

I'm very ready for the next book from these authors.
