“I’m extremely happy (and very relieved) to be able to testify that sometimes it’s worth the risk. As Exhibit A, I offer The Walton Street Tycoons by Jim Lesczynski, which is simply the best libertarian novel to come along in a quarter of a century or so. That you can buy it directly from Jim, and not the northeastern gatekeepers who would have censored him and kept 94% is icing on the cake. Jim’s new novel has exactly the same true heart and unerring eye that we love in so many of Robert A. Heinlein’s ‘juveniles’ — books, in truth, fully as entertaining and engrossing to adults as they are to kids — a spirit and vision perfectly suited to the 21st century, and a trust of children, of their energy and essential goodness, that presently appears otherwise extinct in a world that takes the best and brightest of them, sentences them to twelve years of day-prison, and drugs them into a stupor when they won’t cooperate quietly with their overseers.” (02/18/07)
