Many men dream of living out their James Bond fantasy, the screen
version: exotic travel, adventure, hot women, and icy martinis
shaken not stirred. Reality proves different as an innocent quest
for a simpler, more spiritual life turns into a nightmare as two
seekers, ordinary Americans, stumble across the path of the covert
operations of two world powers and become unwilling spies. The
story takes the reader through the nether world of the shadow
government, all governments in fact, and the ruling classes.
Accused by the woman he loves of using and betraying her, the
damned hero of the story finds himself haunted by agents of the
shadow government as he runs from Bora Bora seeking sanctuary off
the gringo trail in Saudi Arabia. There, under the guidance of a
top American lobbyist working for a Saudi billionaire, he assesses
his options and composes an apology to his lost love. In the
process he discovers the dirty truths of machinations behind the
facade of democracy, equality, human rights and other myths. The
cold, hard facts to back up the truths that hold this work
together, the lavish descriptions of some of the most beautiful
parts of the world, some of the most beautiful people, and the
hero's experience of the more spectacular aspects of civilization
on the planet make for a rich, riveting story that holds ones
interest through to the very end.Though primarily a fruit of
extensive research, "So Long America" is also a novel that leaps
off the page to entice and enthrall, and makes for a great deal of
just plain enjoyment. NOTE: "So Long America" is a condensed
version of the book "Smarter than Snakes" that Patrick wrote in
response to requests by readers of his book "The Train of the Fifth
Era," who found the concepts and practices described in that book
useful, but could not put them to good use, because habits are all
but impossible to change. In "Smarter than Snakes" Patrick
presented his Noosomatic model that provides some answers in the
form of non-psychoanalytic approaches to changing beliefs, habits
and expectations. As a result, "Smarter than Snakes" reached 586
pages covering essentially two different areas of interest:
personal growth and sociopolitical issues such as the deep roots of
the Enron scandal in the context of recent geopolitical
developments. Though sociopolitical awareness is part of personal
growth, a number of readers, despondent about the systematic
demolition of social justice in the United States, skimmed over the
part on non-psychoanalytic approaches to get to the issues
threatening their quality of life. Thus Patrick adapted and
transformed the book into a shorter, separate book he called "So
Long America."
