As Callay moves towards a vote on whether to break away from the Federation, confusion reigns and terrorist groups plot their own agendas.

He should have seen it coming. Anonymous letters are rarely good. On the day after preaching a sermon at his church, Rob Shepherd opened a letter filled with hurtful words and a very strong opinion about how awful his sermon was. On his fourth reading of the letter, Rob heard a still small voice say, "Even if you preached the perfect sermon somebody would crucify it." That thought began the process of setting Rob free from being a lifelong people pleaser.

Candy just got out of the shower when she heard someone at the door. She put on her robe that hangs on the back of the bathroom door. She hardly ever wears it, except for the rare occasion like this. As Candy walked through the living room, she could see through the glass front door a man she’d never seen before. He was tall, tan, 34 years old, had blond hair, and dressed like a banker, wearing a decent suit from The Men’s Wearhouse. But he was too built, too poised to be a banker. He was definitely a cop.

Shepherd Mead's hilarious and timely Male Manifesto takes a fresh look at the issues and perils of the coming sexual war and exhorts his comrades-in-arms to rally 'round this book, boys, in one of the most delightfully chauvinistic satires to come along in years.

Es gibt zwei Arten von Frauen, meint Shepherd Mead, solche, die ausführen, was man ihnen sagt (vor allem, was ein Mann ihnen sagt), und solche, die Karriere machen.

There are two kinds of women who work, says Shepherd Mead, author of How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying and How to Get Rich in TV without Really Trying. One is the Working Girl, the handmaiden of business: She does what men tell her to do - she types, totes coffee, gripes in her cubicle. The other kind is the Career Girl: She thinks like a man, acts like a woman, and can soon end up in a four-window office making more money than anybody. Marie Frale, new employee at American Household Products, hadn't put many carbons in backward before she got the point.

In this challenging book, the author of the celebrated best-selling book How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying (which inspired the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical), provides a daring and amusing antidote to those Doomsday prophets who believe that man is destined to destroy himself and planet earth.
