The Second Lives of Honest Men Tour & Giveaway!!
A "Philosophical Odyssey touching on Faith, Hope, Love, Morality and Redemption."
Synopsis
On the evening of April 14th, 1865, a flawless duplicate replaced the 16th President an instant prior to his assassination. Two centuries later, Honest Abe opened his eyes to a world in desperate need of guidance. THE SECOND LIVES OF HONEST MEN is a prescient vision of where society's dependence on technology could be taking us. It's a character driven story about love, redemption, and hope, with deep philosophical underpinnings related to how we think, feel, and reason in a world where it's ironically easy to feel disconnected.

My family often drives me to the brink of madness; not a difficult thing to do, considering how close to the edge I already am. My daughter is a hellion. At the age of six, she’s both bright and bold, obstinate, and pushes every button I have. My wife blames my genetics: “I was never like that,” she claims. I deny it, despite knowing that I was also an uncontrollable child. I’m a teacher, but I consider myself a modern philosopher. I’m very worried about the current state of education. I’m concerned about the future, in general. I don’t think we all necessarily need to be alarmists, though I do believe that if you look at the world around you and aren’t a little worried, you and I probably aren’t going to agree on much. (I’ll pretend not to look while you navigate elsewhere. There’s plenty of other entertainment on-line. Crushing Candy, and so forth…) I’m currently working on a couple of new short stories, and on the sequel to The Second Lives of Honest Men, which I’m writing under the working title of The Old Crow.

My Review:I can remember getting my first computer and being able to look up information for my homework that I could not find in a library. That is not the norm for students today. The internet has worked its way into our every day lives. I can not think of anything that does not have a computer. Even stuffed animals use a computer or machine to be made. In the future I can not even think of how many more computers we will use in our every day lives. I also enjoyed the time travel aspect of the book. I can understand why the author wanted to have Abraham Lincoln time travel, but I am not sure how it fit into the plot of technology. I wonder if there will be a sequel, and who else the author will pick to travel through time. I recommend this book for computer/ technology buffs and anyone that wonders how much technology is too much. I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
