In the near future, the widespread use of automation in our nation's industry may destine many of America's labor force to a lifetime of unemployment. If so, what is to become of those doomed permanently to the unemployment lines? How will the government deal with them? The answers to these questions are the focus of The Towers of Eden, a powerful, thought-provoking new science fiction novel. Set against an international backdrop, the story opens with Alex Kinkade, former British army officer. It is the year 2055, and he is in charge of We Feed Camp 114, a refugee camp deep in the jungles of war-torn Brazil. Alex Kinkade's heroic but unorthodox humanitarianism finally comes to the attention of Dr. Paul Vogel, famed American sociologist. Creator of Project Eden--his 'final solution' to the unemployment crisis--Vogel sees in the idealistic Englishman the one man who can make of it a success. Kinkade has different ideas, however. He sees Vogel as a man to be stopped--at any cost. Coming to the aid of a small Texas town whose unemployed citizens are about to be hauled away by US army troops, Alex Kinkade makes his final stand against an implacable foe.

deficient in both developmental and descriptive depth and breadth. ...

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

deficient in both developmental and descriptive depth and breadth. essence was missing from page 1. i kept at it as i'd read some of the author's comments on chechar's site and wanted to see what nuggets of wisdom he might offer in this story. zero. ward needs another 10,000 hours of skill acquisition practice before advertising himself as an author. i tossed the book rather than take it to our local used bookseller.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.Ward Kendall has a vision, that shows through in his writings. It may be a work of fiction, however it could very well be the future if things don't change.

Is This America's Likely Future?

January 29, 2017

Format: Paperback

Ward Kendall’s “The Towers of Eden” is a grim but entirely realistic view of a future America, and what might happen. It’s deadly serious, and that’s a large part of its appeal. And it poses an intriguing question I’ve never seen answered before: what happens if automation and computers put millions of people out of work, with no other option for employment – anywhere? Kendall’s daring novel provides an answer, but one that some may not like. Clearly he’s thinking outside the box, and it’s a box a lot of people might end up in. Memorable characters are another plus, as well as excellent writing. A must read as we race toward an uncertain future.

Racialist, not racist

February 7, 2016

Format: Paperback

A surprisingly complex novel about race/social class devolution and the ending-of-civilization in 2056. Similiar in some ways to another excellent book, Serpent's Walk: the White Resistance leadership are not pure of heart and will sometimes kill simply out of meglomania; the reluctant hero is not at all convinced by the brutal logic of the necessity to take such harsh measures to save western civilization from the unwashed hordes.
