Synopsis "License to Ill (in English)"
License to Ill, A Transformational Political Drama."Big money, political intrigue, a very inventive story with plenty of action, and characters you won't soon forget make License to Ill a flat out page-turner." --Roger Johns, author of Dark River Rising from St. Martin's Press-Minotaur Books"A witty and refreshingly original political drama." - Kirkus ReviewsIt's January 2013. Fresh off a shellacking in the November election cycle, Republicans in Congress would like nothing better than to take down Obamacare. But overweight, hard-drinking, wife-cheating staffer Jerry Riggs doesn't care about that right now. He's hated doctors since his dad died on the operating table. Now in middle age, he has a heart condition of his own.Enter Sebastian Vogel, an acquaintance of Jerry's from law school back in his home state of Kentucky, with a constitutional challenge to Obamacare under the free exercise of religion clause. Sounds like just what the doctor ordered, but Jerry has his misgivings about the case both personally and politically. Nevertheless, when "Big Healthcare" is implicated in the firebombing of Vogel's home, it becomes Jerry's job to get him safely to court. Meanwhile, Vogel's alternative approach to health and healing offers hope for Jerry's physical issues that doesn't include him being splayed down the middle-but at what cost to his hard-living, unconscious lifestyle? Truth be told, it may be too late to un-ring that bell, and Jerry knows it.License to Ill is a study in philosophy. Its particular emphasis is on the nexus between spirituality and health, largely ignored by modern medicine, and the potential for self-healing. After reading License to Ill you'll never look at your body (or your doctor) the same way again.
