Press Release Summary = \"the Plant\" a political fiction novel by Dan L Dudgeon was
recently published and released for sale in the U.S. Paperback, ISBN 1-4196-4015-1.


Press Release Body = \"the Plant\" is a fast moving novel presenting a future where
world factions clash with terrorists, and each other, while Hemp activists
aggressively seek a means to global peace through the cultivation of a plant deemed
to be the planet\'s most valuable raw material.

It is a gripping tale of the near future, on a global scale, and follows the story
of two friends - Johnson, the businessman, and Smith, the dreamer, both staunch
supporters of Marijuana and Hemp legalization - who had founded an activist
magazine in the 1990s.

Smith became disillusioned with the seemingly unwinnable struggle, and disappointed
with American society and its resistance to change, even when it means dramatic
improvements to the economy and environment. He moves to Venezuela where he
believes he can spend the rest of his life in peace and quiet, living off the land,
and forgetting about the failing push toward a better world.

Meanwhile, his friend, Johnson, continues to fight against insurmountable odds,
adding a small team of bright, ambitious go-getters to his cause. With growing
global terrorism and a near-World War at hand, federal and public fears due to the
confusion between Marijuana and Industrial Hemp, and increasing and deadly
opposition to the battles for Marijuana law reform, they truly have their work cut
out for them.

Nearly two decades later, Smith returns from the depths of seclusion to discover
that the world is nothing like what he left behind. What has happened is not only
shocking, but, for him, life-altering.

From the Author, Dan L Dudgeon:
"The story within the Plant spans over twenty years, and encompasses the recent
past, the present, and the possibilities for the future. And although the
cultivation of Industrial Hemp as a natural resource is not my only desire for the
future of America, and inevitably the entire planet, I feel it is a very significant
one.
The question posed by the book is: Can one plant bring about all the positive
results promised by the research of the past, and the present struggles of so many
Hemp supporters? The answer is of course my own personal perspective. But it is a
great surprise, and you'll have to read it to find out!"
