A MORE PERFECT UNION

About the Book

In a future where asteroids are being actively mined and comets are being intentionally crashed into the Venusian atmosphere to cool the planet down for eventual colonization, a violent civil war breaks out in America over repeal of the Second Amendment. On one side is a fanatical religious right, on the other a spineless liberal administration. Caught inbetween are space-travelers returning home from a stint on Mars. Among them is one Butch Hogan, a spacejockey in the employ of Transcomet Industries. Butch works atop the highest of all steels, orbiting electromagnetic mass drivers crucial to the asteroid trade. Upon landing, he must choose up sides in the ever-widening war.

About the Author

After a long career as a stockbroker and mutual fund manager, Steven Burgauer turned to writing in 1993. He has written several science fiction books as well as an investment guide and a fictionalized story of Neanderthal's first encounter with man. His many science-fiction tales include such works as “NEWHUMAN”, “The Fornax Drive” and “The Brazen Rule”. His most recent book is entitled “A More Perfect Union.” Many of his writings incorporate libertarian themes. His books delve deeply into economic theory and political philosophy. From invention to property rights to personal freedom and choice, these books follow the adventures of a space-faring family three centuries in the future. In the words of Philip Jose Farmer, three-time Hugo award winner, “Burgauer's THE BRAZEN RULE is tightly plotted, has excellent characters, and shows basic human nature as it is: a thirst for power.”
