Alongside Night
"An absorbing novel--science fiction, yet also a cautionary tale  with a disturbing resemblance to past history and future  possibilities."  --Milton Friedman, Nobel laureate in Economics"An unabashedly polemical , libertarian novel which packages its  message in a fast, effectively told action adventure."  --Publishers Weekly"Anyone interested in freedom will find this more than  readable." --Jerry Pournelle"Engrossing." --Thomas S. Szasz, MD"Here is a frightening and all too plausible picture of the near  future.  America is already a long way down the road that leads to it.   Yet there is also a hopefulness in the story, for the author develops a  philosophy, in considerable practical detail, that we could begin  living by today, if we will choose to be free." --Poul Anderson"High Drama ... A story of high adventure, close escapes,  mistaken identities, and thrilling rescues.  ... A fast-moving tale of  a future which is uncomfortably close at hand." --Los Angeles Times Book Review"I receivedAlongside Nightat noon today.  It is now  eight in the evening and I just finished it.  I think I am entitled to  some dinner now as I had no lunch.  The unputdownability of the book  ensured that.  It is a remarkable and original story, and the picture  it presents of an inflation- crippled America on the verge of  revolution is all too acceptable.  I wish, and so will many novelists,  that I, or they, had thought of the idea first.  A thrilling novel,  crisply written, that fires the imagination as effectively as it  stimulates the feelings."  --Anthony Burgess"Let me begin with a disclaimer: I don't really agree with many  of J. Neil Schulman's ideas about society or politics or money.  But  his first book,Alongside Night, is as enjoyable piece of  cautionary fiction as I have read in some years ... Like Ayn Rand and  Robert A. Heinlein, Schulman can tell a good story!"  --Sunday Detroit News"One of the most widely hailed libertarian novels since the  classic works of Ayn Rand." --Reason  Magazine"Probably the best libertarian novel since Atlas Shrugged."  --Science Fiction Review"This is a radical novel.  It pulls no punches, offers no  compromises.  It effectively presents a social, moral, and political  point of view without polemic, without stridency. Without hysteria, it  projects a bleak future for us all, but not without hope, for there's a  deep affection for humanity despite its foibles underlying every  sentence." --F. Paul Wilson--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
