Truth wrapped in fiction has the power to engage the reader’s mind, heart, and spirit. So it has the power to transform.
Order of Books
1) On The Edge 2) The President 3) Enemy In The Room 4) Nation On The Edge
While each novel has its own stand-alone story threads, and they can be read in any order, several key characters do repeat across all four books.
In Nation On The Edge, most of the characters from On The Edge repeat, only they are twenty-five years older.
Parker Hudson’s Book Reviews
Parker Hudson
I guess I’m a bit of an anomaly:
• A conservative Southerner who believes strongly in our nation’s unique founding ideals of individual, God-given freedoms,
• A civil rights activist who battled the segregationist Democratic Party in the Georgia Challenge Delegation in Chicago,
• A Naval officer who loved steering a guided missile cruiser around the Mediterranean,
• A commercial real estate entrepreneur and teacher for five decades in the U.S. and Russia,
• A Deplorable clinging to my guns and Bible, with a Master’s Degree from The London School of Economics as a Marshall Scholar,
A husband, father of five, grandfather, pilot, scuba-diver, author, and, most importantly,
• A sinner saved by grace alone.
So that’s the melting pot from which has emerged four novels about personal transformation, and many essays focused on Faith, Economics, and Policy.
I hope you will engage, and that we will seek Truth together.

Speaking Simple Truth to Obvious Lies
I’m glad to be back after a six-month pause. During the break I finished and published my fourth novel, Nation On The Edge, which I hope you’ll read. And I released the audio version of On The Edge, read remarkably well by a computer! Old dog, new tricks. Pause or...
What is Woke?
A recent email to me from a frequent correspondent right after the SVB/Signature bank failures criticized some conservative news sources for blaming the banks’ problems on being “woke.” And he asked what does being woke even mean? He wrote: “Being ‘woke’ doesn’t mean...
Virtue-Character-Behavior
I want to share my thoughts on the two ends of a conceptual telescope I will call “Character." Not character like someone in a novel, but as with: The aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing. Qualities of honesty,...
