As I recall, he figured out that the Master of Ritual job was the key, and he took over once he got it.
TAXMAN BRAVO ZULU!
I look forward to reading it!
PS I hope you make enough money to buy a new pickup truck, and a lot more beer!
The beer, yes, but I was thinking more in the line of a gas guzzling SUV.
He is that monstrum horrendum, an unprincipled man of genius.
Interesting. I just happen to be reading that currently. I love Rand’s wordcraft, she certainly can turn a beautiful phrase. Some of the chick stuff gets a little old, but reading that tome has certainly convinced me she had a time machine and spent some time here, right now ;)
I’ll grab a copy of what you boys have wrought, be in helpful to get other opinions about some of her work.
Nah, check these first.

The Internet is forever.
Well, I hope you guys make a million dollars. I was part of your Book Club back then, but not as Steerpike. It was very well done.
I look forward to re-reading the book.
Congrats to both of you. You deserve more than one bump.

Publius, you are way too modest!
It is a great companion to Rand's book. I would also recommend it as a quick refresh for those who simply don't have time to reread the novel.
I did order from Amazon and was very pleased with the layout and content. Though it will make a very helpful aid when used as a companion to Atlas Shrugged it is my opinion that, having previously read the novel, it can be read independently as well. The flow of the story is preserved and characters and details presented in such a manner that I was recalling much that had begun to fade from memory.
"Who is John Galt?" will be a buffer to the sometimes dated, perhaps abrasive and long winded style that Rand used.
The Authors skillfully guide a reader over the sharp edges and deep holes of Rands narrative while examining the philosophical impact of Her motives. Rands detractors have used these inconsistencies to obscure and belittle Objectivism since Atlas was first printed. With an understanding of the context in which Atlas Shrugged was written, it is much easier to identify the key elements of the philosophy presented.
Well done, Sirs! Well done.
Bless you!
Many thanks - probably working late tonight again so I’ll give this one an occasional bumperoo...
Well, ya know I bought mine the day after you announced it was (finally) available. :)
After I got over my dissappointment at the lack of Bill’s head on Schwarzenegger’s frame with broadswords & dragons on the cover I was still greatly impressed & appreciate your works! ;-}
Thank you. You may have been our first customer!
I saw this on Amazon and wondered if it was from you and Billthedrill. This will be a must buy for me. I will get an extra copy at least for a Christmas present.
Good luck with this.
Thank you. It’s the perfect Christmas gift for people who tried to read “Atlas” and gave up.
Is there a prize for that? LOL
So...are you going to publish the Federalist Papers? Just wondering as I oft do...:)
