If you enjoyed Book I to The Madman, I am hopeful that you will enjoy this follow-up tale. The first installment was meant to demonstrate how easy it can be to lose yourself in the face of an impersonal world set against you, and how that can lead to rapid self-destruction. By contrast, the second installment is an exercise in spiritual rebirth, which is anything but an easy task. The other purpose of this combined project is to explore the absolute truism that, placed in the wrong environment, it is entirely possible for anyone to find themselves on the verge of madness. Unfortunately, that can also include the national sentiment you see around you every day, and this second book also explores some deep-seated foundational issues which previously made this country entirely unique. Much of that foundation has been lost at this point, and this new chapter in Steven's adventure takes him on a journey to rediscover his purpose, at a time when the country is forced to also rediscover its own. Undoubtedly, this work will not be for everyone, but again, if the first installment of The Madman struck a chord with you, the second might also provide you with some enjoyable reading and education. However, as with everything you approach in life, enter at your own risk...
