The release date for the English version of 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand is Aug 1999. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

This is the tale of a man who, true to his word, stopped the world's motor. Was he the greatest liberator or a destroyer?

Why did he have to fight his toughest struggle against the lady he loved and his war against those who needed him the most, rather than his enemies? What is the driving force behind the globe and the motivation of every man? When you learn the cause of the perplexing incidents that severely disrupt the lives of the individuals in this novel, you will be able to respond to these questions.

Magnificent in its breadth, this book offers a breathtaking view of human existence: from the brilliant worker who devolves into a useless playboy to the titanic steel magnate who blindly pursues his own downfall, the philosopher who turns into a pirate, the composer who abandons his career on the eve of his success, the woman managing a transcontinental railroad, and the lowest track worker in her terminal tunnels.

When you read this book, you should be ready to question every assumption that forms the basis of your beliefs.

This is not a murder mystery about the death and rebirth of the human spirit. It is a philosophical revolution presented with an action thriller's brutal events, razor-sharp narrative structure, and gripping tension. Do you think that's not possible? That is the first of your premises that has to be verified.
