Will send a free copy to anyone who is interested in reviewing the book When Hope Came: A Time-Travel Story Blurb: David is a suicidal journalist in NYC and Hope is a teenager who claims to have come from the year 2227. Unfortunately Hope is invisible to just about anyone but David, except Jeremy that is, a war-veteran who is slightly off his rocker followed around by his own invisible companion, a little green man. While David tries to figure out if he lost his marbles completely Hope shows him her world through the flashbacks in her mind. While Hope and David's worlds seem quite different from each other they are both threatened with destruction by rather similar evils.
Comment: The story isn't quite as funny as the above sounds, after all it's written in the spirit of "Brave New World" Beware: This is a sci-fi without Zombies, without ETs and without space-battles. If you need those to be entertained, this book might not be for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy thinking and are not afraid of new concepts, like the quaint idea that greed might not always be good and the best driver for an economy and that Machiavelli might have been an idiot, John Galt might still be a villain and Ayn Rand and Nietzsche both sociopaths, then this book could be for you.
p.s.: I'm ready to swap reviews with authors of a similar taste for rather thinking than shooting. (I'm not interested in other people's, not even fictional people's sex-life)
