    About this ebook

    Venecia’s Earthling is “A visionary novel of the developing Earth democracies and advanced life in the universe”

    Bill Brady, a highly-placed U.S. official is abducted by the beautiful and otherworldly Venecia and transported across the galaxy to the planet Aequatanus. There he discovers a world at peace with reasonable prosperity, health and contentment enjoyed by all its inhabitants. Bill returns to Earth on a mission to promote the successful methods he has observed. The process begins with proposals for a reformed United Nations, improved continental alliances, and neutralization of weapons of mass destruction along with others. A romance between Bill and his beautiful alien hostess is deftly woven throughout the book to make for an enjoyable read.

    While fictional in form, VENECIA'S EARTHLING contains a potential blueprint of our evolving world organization and order. The literary content, charts and explanatory notes in particular, set out ideas intended to stimulate constructive thinking as we begin to shape our coming world and move forward in the 21st Century and beyond.

    James L. Barbour

    James L. Barbour is a former officer of the Federal Government whose entire career of over thirty years was devoted to the organization and management functions of U.S. and State agencies. He participated in many reorganization efforts including the development and implementation of plans requiring Presidential and Congressional approval. Equally important, he had the opportunity to observe overall government operations at high levels and the related interplay of human emotions and institutional considerations from an inside perspective. Following a distinguished thirty-plus year career with the Federal Government, the author retired to his native Southern Maryland where so many of major events of our nation’s history played out. There he began a second career and operated a successful antiquarian book business, specializing in (but not limited to) the Civil War era. Mr. Barbour subsequently researched, authored, and issued several publications relating to the Civil War and the Lincoln assassination, in addition to other works.
