A sci-fi thriller based on Rudy Rummel's, Professor of Political Science, theories about democracy, world peace, and the state of the world. Time travel and adventure with a political bent. Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2005 -- Professor R.J. Rummel, Nobel Peace Prize Finalist and Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Hawaii, already the author of twenty-five works of non-fiction on the “democratic peace,” incorporates his passionate views into the latest book of his fictional Never Again series. A twenty-first century George Orwell, Rudy Rummel switched to fiction to promote his message to the wider public. Embedded in the solidly entertaining and remarkably well-crafted (as well as historically accurate) political-science fiction adventure series, is the same message Professor Rummel has been preaching to his classes, his colleagues, the world: That democracy and freedom are the only known antidotes to the collective violence bred by concentrated political power. However, don’t mistake any of Rummel’s Never Again novels for didactic morality tales. They are not. The stories stand on their own as well-told adventures featuring love, lust, mystery, suspense, conflict and betrayal, all the elements essential to popular thriller fiction, and more. Rummel’s underlying message, his truth -- that absolute power begets democide, war and famine, while democracy nurtures freedom and prosperity -- is woven subtly within the fabric of the fiction without dropping a stitch of the fantasy element. Supported by the historical scaffolding that only a renowned scholar of political science could provide, Never Again entertains and educates, and, with Rummel’s hope for global peace in our lifetime, will unlock minds and open the door to peace and democracy on a global scale.
