  <description><![CDATA[A historical and current events novel. The intellectual revolution against the government <em>of thugs, by thugs, for thugs</em>:<br/><br/>US Presidential candidate Apollo Marianto battles the camouflage used by statists to tyrannize: business’s Goliath image. Having a monopoly on coercive power, only the government can become a Goliath. <br/><br/>Government-Goliath has terrorized job creators for decades. Corporate America, the <em>Royal Serf</em>, is under a <em>bipartisan dictatorship</em>. The Republican and Democratic Parties champion extortion and coercion. Declaring war on productive citizens, both have arrogated the power to control and dispose of private property.<br/><br/>Apollo declares: “Practical politics can be based only on reality, reason, and logic. The <em>MikeMilkenist Party</em> is grounded in the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> and the philosophy of <em>Objectivism</em>, thus advocates the only economic system accordant with individual rights: capitalism. <br/><br/>To uphold inalienable rights and obliterate all taxes: let us constitutionalize <em>coercion-free economics</em> and <em>absolute property rights</em>.” <br/><br/>British Prime Minister Ian Washington proclaims: “Individual rights are not subject to a public vote. The individual is sovereign – his life belongs to him, not to the state.” King William, the Commander in Chief of the British armed forces, agrees.<br/><br/>Apollo and Ian fight for <em>equal inherent inalienable rights</em>, but they are in the crosshairs of a perfect assassin and a powerful quartet. Terror is unleashed, using the British Crown Prince desirous of freeing a <em>royal serf</em> of tradition, duty, and public opinion: himself. Apollo and Ian must choose: Freedom or Prince George and Prince Hari.<br/><br/>Apollo adores the beau ideal dragooned to kill him. Ian loves the perfect assassin.  ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[A historical and current events novel. The intellectual revolution against the government <em>of thugs, by thugs, for thugs</em>:<br/><br/>US Presidential candidate Apollo Marianto battles the camouflage used by statists to tyrannize: business’s Goliath image. Having a monopoly on coercive power, only the government can become a Goliath. <br/><br/>Government-Goliath has terrorized job creators for decades. Corporate America, the <em>Royal Serf</em>, is under a <em>bipartisan dictatorship</em>. The Republican and Democratic Parties champion extortion and coercion. Declaring war on productive citizens, both have arrogated the power to control and dispose of private property.<br/><br/>Apollo declares: “Practical politics can be based only on reality, reason, and logic. The <em>MikeMilkenist Party</em> is grounded in the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> and the philosophy of <em>Objectivism</em>, thus advocates the only economic system accordant with individual rights: capitalism. <br/><br/>To uphold inalienable rights and obliterate all taxes: let us constitutionalize <em>coercion-free economics</em> and <em>absolute property rights</em>.” <br/><br/>British Prime Minister Ian Washington proclaims: “Individual rights are not subject to a public vote.

    <![CDATA[A historical and current events novel. The intellectual revolution against the government <em>of thugs, by thugs, for thugs</em>:<br/><br/>US Presidential candidate Apollo Marianto battles the camouflage used by statists to tyrannize: business’s Goliath image. Having a monopoly on coercive power, only the government can become a Goliath. <br/><br/>Government-Goliath has terrorized job creators for decades. Corporate America, the <em>Royal Serf</em>, is under a <em>bipartisan dictatorship</em>. The Republican and Democratic Parties champion extortion and coercion. Declaring war on productive citizens, both have arrogated the power to control and dispose of private property.<br/><br/>Apollo declares: “Practical politics can be based only on reality, reason, and logic. The <em>MikeMilkenist Party</em> is grounded in the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> and the philosophy of <em>Objectivism</em>, thus advocates the only economic system accordant with individual rights: capitalism. <br/><br/>To uphold inalienable rights and obliterate all taxes: let us constitutionalize <em>coercion-free economics</em> and <em>absolute property rights</em>.” <br/><br/>British Prime Minister Ian Washington proclaims: “Individual rights are not subject to a public vote. The individual is sovereign – his life belongs to him, not to the state.” King William, the Commander in Chief of the British armed forces, agrees.<br/><br/>Apollo and Ian fight for <em>equal inherent inalienable rights</em>, but they are in the crosshairs of a perfect assassin and a powerful quartet. Terror is unleashed, using the British Crown Prince desirous of freeing a <em>royal serf</em> of tradition, duty, and public opinion: himself. Apollo and Ian must choose: Freedom or Prince George and Prince Hari.<br/><br/>Apollo adores the beau ideal dragooned to kill him. Ian loves the perfect assassin.  ]]>
