RUN (the novel) is the creation of a gifted writer, G. R. Kearney.  Mr Kearney is based in the Chicago area.  RUN is an easy read.  It is thought provoking and entertaining. RUN takes the reader along on Noa Kalakuau’s quest as an independent, running for President of The United States in the upcoming 2008 Presidential election.

 

RUN’s main character, Noa Kalakuau, is an economist from the University of Chicago.  Noa is deeply concerned about the financial condition of the United States and about the inability of the Congress to deal with virtually any issue that comes before it.  He knows that the single most important goal of most members of Congress is re-election and that most in the Congress act only in their self interest, and not in the interests of their constituents.  Kalakuau understands that the debt load facing the United States will eventually “take down” this great nation unless the problem is dealt with promptly.  Kalakuau knows that the poor and the elderly will suffer the most for generations to come; and that many millions of us will be denied the “American Dream” as a result of the actions of greedy, unethical politicians.  Noa decides to do something about it.
