guy." He's tired of beating people up for a living. He doesn't want
to be a thief or a murderer. He doesn't want to get something for
nothing. Joey Panella believes in the American Dream. He believes
that hard work, guts, and imagination can turn a beggar into a
billionaire. And he wants to be that billionaire. By selling cocaine.
Even though the local mafiosos, and his father, believe that selling
drugs is beneath them. Even though he'll have to go up against
Harlem Kingpins, New York Cops, Drug Enforcement Agents ... and the
Colombian Drug Cartel. Even though it might cost him the only woman
he loves. But Joey Panella knows that across the Lines of Fire is
everything he wants ... and it will cost him everything he has to
get it. Every war has its heros and victims. On both sides. Even
the Drug War.

J. NEIL SCHULMAN
****************
ALONGSIDE NIGHT, a novel by J. Neil Schulman. SoftServ Exclusive,
Cadenza Communications. © 1979 by J. Neil Schulman. In 1973,
shortly after interviewing Robert Heinlein, J. Neil Schulman got an
idea for a near-future story in which New York City was in such
economic collapse that even getting across town to a stash of gold was
a major problem. The resulting novel was published hardcover in 1979,
and reprinted twice in paperback. It received endorsements from Nobel-
laureate Milton Friedman and Anthony Burgess. In 1989, the Libertarian
Futurist Society awarded it a Prometheus "Hall of Fame" gold medallion
for classic works of fiction promoting liberty. In the years since
\Alongside Night\ was written, much of its short-term projections have
come to pass. But what of the novel's longer-term projections? Can a
book which ends with the collapse of the United States really have a
happy ending? J. Neil Schulman thought so in 1974, and he still does.
This book projects the collapse of the United States ... and a way for
America to save itself as a free land. If you're interested in seeing
liberty prevail, this book is a blueprint to the future. If you're
not ... it's the face of the nemesis you can't escape. "One of the most
widely hailed libertarian novels since the classic works of Ayn Rand."
--\Reason Magazine\
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, a screenplay by J. Neil Schulman. SoftServ
Exclusive, Cadenza Communications. © 1990 by J. Neil Schulman.
This is Neil Schulman's first published screenplay, and his first
published fiction since his award-winning THE RAINBOW CADENZA. This
screenplay tells the story of a young violinist who is caught between
the world of classical music, which he loves, and the world of the up-
and-coming rock star he falls in love with. Then tragedy strikes him,
and he must either figure out a way to bring the two worlds together or
be exiled from the classical music world permanently. J. Neil Schulman
has drawn upon his knowledge of both classical and pop music -- drawn
from being the son of a concert violinist and the husband of a popular
composer/performer -- to write a story about professional conflicts in
the world of \music\ -- not just a soap opera where the characters are
gratuitously musicians.

THE ROBERT HEINLEIN INTERVIEW AND OTHER HEINLEINIANA,
nonfiction, by J. Neil Schulman. A SoftServ Original, published by
Cadenza Communications, Inc. Copyright © 1990 by J. Neil Schulman.
In 1973, J. Neil Schulman wangled an assignment from the \New York
Daily News\ to interview Robert A. Heinlein. The resulting interview
came to 25,000 words -- the longest interview Heinlein ever granted,
and the only one in which he talked freely and extensively about his
personal philosophy and ideology. If you want Heinlein on UFO's, life
after death, epistemology, or libertarianism, this interview is
virtually the only source available. It's available for the first
time since 1974. Also included articles, reviews, and letters by
Schulman.
