Interview with Gaither Stewart about his Novel: The Fifth Sun

By JP Miller

tezcatlipocaDraw copy

JPM: The Fifth Sun seems to be a literary departure for you. It is a very modern novel but at the same time there is something timeless about it. The action begins in Rome and moves to New York and Mexico City. After your work on the Europe trilogy, you have again gone back to America and its dichotomies. Did you have some unfinished business with your past that informed this new novel? Continue reading »

Steven Jonas’ revised edition of his classic, The 15% Solution, How the Republican Right Took Control of the US, 1981-2022, a futuristic novel outlining in detail how the Christian fundamentalist right could take over the reins of the US government has just entered main distribution through Amazon (US, France, Germany). The tip sheet reads:

Written as “true fiction” The 15% Solution focuses on the threat of fascism, “American style,” posed now by Christian fundamentalism operating within the confines of the Republican party. The book shows how theocratic authoritarianism can be gradually introduced into any country, even the “world’s greatest democracy,” behind a façade of Constitutional legality, no less. As a “dystopic future history” it follows in the tradition established by its major forebears: Jack London’s The Iron Heel and Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here.  Dr. Jonas’ book, based on what the Republican Christian Right has already told us they will do as they gather more and more power, may, sadly, well prove to be correct.  That is unless the U.S. people wake up to what is happening all around them and do something about it before it is too late.

Some reflections on Gaither Stewart’s absorbing new novel, Lily Pad Roll

By William T. Hathaway

Gaither Stewart is a shatterer of myths. In The Trojan Spy, volume one of the Europe Trilogy, he shattered the myth that the USA is fighting terrorism and showed instead how our government works in a symbiotic relationship with the so-called terrorists. Now in Lily Pad Roll, volume two of the trilogy, he shatters the myth that America is invading countries and building foreign bases in order to defend the homeland and secure oil supplies. He shows instead that the deeper motive for this slaughter of hundreds of thousands of our fellow human beings and the resulting near-bankruptcy of our country is brutal geopolitics: the desire of our ruling elite to weaken their chief rivals, Russia and China, and to prepare for war with Iran. Stewart’s artistic skills make this case more convincingly than a dozen academic analyses could. Continue reading »

Gaither Stewart’s espionage novel on Russian encirclement and US military bases on sale worldwide

NEW YORK LILY PAD ROLL, Gaither Stewart’s second volume in the EUROPE TRILOGY is now in wide distribution on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, and scores of other vendors in Europe, North America and other regional markets. The current edition is only available in English, but discussions are being held with potential publishers in Argentina, Russia and China.  A French edition is also being planned.

The book has been warmly received by critics who compare it favorably with the works of Ludlum, le Carré and Greene, all masters of the political/espionage genre. Pad Roll develops further the materila first introduced

PLOT

An American’s probe into the secret world of US military bases spreading east from the Balkans, Lily Pad Roll is also an exploration of 21st century post-Soviet Eastern Europe. Stewart’s characters, grappling with problems of time, memory and exile, are often fractured souls seeking a centre for themselves in a geopolitical world in turmoil. Stewart marshals his engaging cast with consummate skill to offer a fresh perspective on the war on terror, unraveling layer after layer the deceits concealed in the imposition of “democracy” on a recalcitrant world.

The book is being distributed by Lightning Source/Ingram.

Dateline: 22 July 2012  Gaither Stewart’s forthcoming Lily Pad Roll, Journey to the Outposts of the Empire (LPR), second volume of his Europe Trilogy, and a novel zeroing in on the US-led encirclement of Russia, China and other powers regarded by Washington as emerging competitors for world dominance, is slated to be Punto Press’ first title bearing the imprint Trepper & Katz Impact Books. (TKIB).

Trepper & Katz editions concentrate on political topics, and particularly on the subterranean clash of superpowers representing different approaches to social and economic organization.  The label Trepper & Katz was chosen to honor the memory of Leopold Trepper, the legendary chief of the Red Orchestra, the most audacious network of anti-Nazi spies in World War Two, and his friend and collaborator Hillel Katz, a heroic communist militant who died under torture in the hands of the Gestapo.

LPR is scheduled for publication sometime in early September 2012. Print and electronic editions are being planned.
