This suspense filled political thriller invites the reader down a path of possibilities, beyond the poisonous cycles of war. What leads a man to violence and beyond to peace? Professor David Tremaine, the most unlikely of characters to lead the most powerful free nation in the world, becomes the spokesman in answering that question. Laced with words of wisdom, this philosophy professor, armed with only speech, becomes President of the United States during the turbulent times preceding 9/11. David Tremaine never expected to be drawn into a global scenario of intrigue, corruption, war, and terror. Ill equipped to lead a nation from the positions of force and violence, he draws from his own spiritual well of a life lead by reason, compassion, principles of love, selfless service, and peace. Woven with these ideals, Uncommon Reason tells a tale to transform the individual . . . a nation . . . and a world. It is not a new story, but an old story of enlightenment--an antidote that provides the possibility of peace.
