Growing up in the Midwest was a privilege, having two great parents was an honor. Serving my country during Vietnam, when America lost the right to draft its children, was a responsibility all Americans need to take seriously. Being in possession of an MBA led me into banking and business. The former a good fit, the latter an exercise in trial and tribulation. Life revealed to me the people who populate our world. These inhabitants wear many different hats and possess a wide range of abilities.
From these highs and lows came the stories which I am now publishing. All of my books have references to my experiences and social connections.
These books challenge conventional thinking but are grounded in reality.
Michael Stafford has written Between the Walls of Time in order to propose a solution for what many feel is a failed political system in the U. S. Cyrus Kohler was a veteran who returned to civilian life and becomes a philosophy professor at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. He creates a new, third political party, The Front, which will be corruption free and offer more acceptable options for governance. He does not emphasize morals, yet expects to create a new party which is not vulnerable to corruption. Millennials flock to the new party, providing it with fresh blood. All this is based on Darwinian concepts of science and rational philosophy. The book is an easy read, and provokes a great deal of thought.
This is a well researched book, full of history. It makes you think especially about our current political system. A very interesting read with well-developed characters. Thank you Goodreads Giveaway for a book I really found interesting.
Appreciated your philosophy and intent. I recognized characters and places. However, I found the book wordy and redundant. Enjoyed the journey through Southern Illinois history.
