(First of all, thank you, Jim Robinson, for allowing the announcement of a FReeper-authored book to be posted on the site. Yet another example of Jim's support for all of our efforts to champion the cause of liberty.)
Several FReepers (who may be too modest to desire attention on this particular thread, but who are mentioned in the 'acknowledgments' section of the book) were intimately involved with Jeff in the authoring/editing process. As a result, 'Breath of Fire' represents, in part, a collaborative FReeper effort.
I can think of no better way to 'promote' this book than to recount what I wrote in the guestbook at Jeff's 'Breath of Fire' website:
I have known the author for several years, and have collaborated with him on several activist 'projects' whose purpose was to light a fire (or fan an already existing spark) within the hearts of his countrymen in an effort to reclaim our beloved republic, and restore her to her former self (the most moral/prosperous nation in the history of the world). Collaborating with Jeff on 'Breath of Fire' has been a distinct privilege. Jeff's strong and abiding faith, his dedication to his family, his knowledge of American and world history/current events, his devotion to the principles that were the force behind America's rise to greatness, his resolve to do all that is within his power to restore her to that greatness, and his intelligent and vivid depictions of entirely possible future events (should the free world neglect to be vigilant and prepared) all find their way onto the pages of this chillingly prophetic (but certainly not without optimism) book. And books two through five promise to be just as intriguing....
'Dragon's Fury -- Breath of Fire' is the first in a series of five books which, from the perspective of a knowledgable, well-informed, dedicated patriot, portray entirely possible (and very disturbing) future events. But the perspective is not without optimism. Nor is it without a belief in the spirit and resolve that has always been truly and uniquely American -- a belief that, if we are able to summon the necessary vigilance and preparedness, that spirit and resolve will see us through the crises which continue to loom just over the horizon.
When asked why he wrote the book, and why he is writing the rest of the series, Jeff responded (in part):
.... we have allowed ourselves to be weakened to the point of being vulnerable. On September 11, 2001 we were shown just how vulnerable in a very horrific way. But even that did not show us the full potential of where such vulnerabilities can lead. We must be vigilant, lest events like those described in "Breath of Fire" come about and we are taken completely advantage of in our weakness, and we lose the liberties that have been paid for in blood by those who have gone before.
The book describes international intrigue and planning at the highest levels of foreign governments. It describes disasters which befall America as extremely committed and ruthless individuals put those plans into motion, and it describes the hope that a free people can project on even the most tragic and difficult of circumstances....
Barring unforeseen difficulties, books two through five ('Trodden Under,' 'High Tide,' 'The Long March,' and 'Eagle's Talons') will be published in six-month intervals, with book two expected to be published in early spring of 2002.
