Welcome to the “Abe’s Turn” exhibit of the Bookroomreviews Book Giveaway Carnival.
Here I’ll be giving away a copy of my novel, The Conscience of Abe’s Turn: The Birth of the Conscience, Volume 1 (Season 1, Episodes 1-4).
This is the story of a group of young professsionals who are also political acitivists in the fictional town of Abe’s Turn. This is the first set of a series of episodes, which read like a TV crime drama, except that the law in Abe’s Turn is corrupt, and these activists resort to espionage to defend innocents caught in this corrupt system. This first volume contains the first 4 episodes–4 stories in one–plus an additional short story, a behind-the-scenes essay, and other bonus chapters.
A story of Espionage, Romance, and Abuse of Power in the fictional town of Abe’s Turn
Somewhere in America, the people live in a police state. Ted and Clydene Jackson have felt it personally. So have their friends Mira and Michael, and all the victims they’ve tried to help, and all the volunteers lobbying to remove Police Chief Baedes from power. For Baedes’s sole ambition is to “protect” the town of Abe’s Turn, at all costs, even if he has to destroy a few innocents in the process. And he will knock down anyone who tries to get in his way.
However, these four friends, unknown even to them, have the means, motive, and opportunity to restrain the forces around them, if they dare… and if their own feelings for each other don’t stop them before they even begin.
Politically incorrect, distinctly libertarian, and teeming with complex characters, this epic novelette series (with a planned 24-episode story arc) explores the heart of freedom and the dangers of power. It blurs the lines between state, revolution, and terrorism. It asks what Thomas Jefferson once asked: “What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
Reflects Real Abuse of Power in America
The Conscience of Abe’s Turn is less speculative than many libertarian novels. It’s not just a dystopia about what might be, but rather a fictional story based upon actual events and therefore reflects a real–though terrifying–part of modern America. For more details, see my October newsletter.
