Finally, a honest account

Mr. Gasz has created with excruciating accuracy an honest portrayal of the difficulties surrounding the Second Amendment. The more real-world lobbyists on both sides of this terribly intense issue dig in, the more they appear foolish. Our society's trust in compromise has long been put to rest and Congressionally, the all or nothing stance prevails. Finally, someone has exposed these silly postures for what they are with a recommendation that I found to be quite just and fair. I applaud Mr. Gasz for his forthright depiction of the ridiculous NRA and its bizarre leader. This novel is a compelling page-turner chock-full of ingenious intrigue and action. The refreshingly simplistic use of language and lack of meticulous landscape makes for a quick read that will leave you thinking for days after the last page.

Thought Provoking

Joseph Gasz has written a tantalizing novel around a topic that engenders strong and passionate responses on at least two dimensions of a controversial topic. The story line is gripping and the numerous literary vignettes provide nice respites from an engaging and positively strenuous mental exercise. Once finished, the reader will have reexamined the notion of the right to keep and bear arms and completed an exiting literary journey.

Absorbing, challenging, totally engaing novel.

John Duncan is a brilliant genetic researcher who suddenly finds himself confronting the reality and horrific consequences of gun violence in America. Desperate to make sense of the loss of his family, he orchestrates the most daring hostage taking scenario in the history of the United States and becomes a hunted man. His intention is not to be judge, jury and executioner of his hostages -- he leaves these obligations to others who will also decide the fate of one of the most controversial sections of the United States Constitution's "Bill of Rights". Second Amendment is an absorbing, challenging, totally engaging novel that showcases one of the country's most pressing social issues today -- the right to keep and bear arms vs. the rising tide of violence on American streets, in American schools, and in American homes.
