"Brilliant book...enlightening, superbly logical and historically accurate....Written for the layman. No prerequisite in economic 'gobbledygook' required"--The Sage Chronicle.

"A landmark book"--Times Record News.

"My favorite book....I devoured every chapter."--M.G., Texas.

"My favorite book since "The Road to Serfdom"--reader, New Orleans, LA.

"Easy to understand and an interesting read"--Writer's Choice Literary Journal.

"This reviewer rarely reads fiction books, but was so impressed with Contoski's nonfiction title, MAKERS AND TAKERS, that I ordered THE TROJAN PROJECT, a novel about one man's discovery of a computer "virus" that affects people as it spreads through the nation's telephone network.  He tries to warn people, but no one believes him.  [The author] keeps you in suspense from the outset.... Once the plot thickens, the "virus" enters, and a lady is introduced, it becomes even more engrossing....THE TROJAN PROJECT is a gripping tale of intrigue.  Should [the hero] expose the secret project [to manipulate the virus to take control of the U.S. government] at the risk of their lives and his family's lives, or should he collaborate...to use the virus to reform America?  That is the question. 

Contoski here takes advantage of his environmental, investment and economics expertise, incorporating vast information into how America could be reformed, by including real problems of the government today--laws, facts and experiences of real people.  The story has a surprise ending and is a lesson in moral action as well.  While THE TROJAN PROJECT is touted as a novel of intrigue, it can also be classified as a "factional" book."--A. Heath Jarrett, editor JARRETT'S JOURNAL
