Urainia J Michael Willard

URAINIA: A Fable Craven Colbert was a marketing genius and, moreover, he was Global Tobacco's marketing genius. If anyone could convince non-smokers over age 55 to take up the habit, Colbert was the man, and a revitalized Lancaster was the brand. When GTI sent Colbert to Eastern Europe to test market Lancasters, he attracted the attention of the country's strongman president, underworld characters, and the nation's chief religious leader, found love with the cute but Tourette's-afflicted Jasmine, and instigated a top-down revolution that nobody saw coming. In Urania: A Fable, author Michael Willard has constructed a high-spirited, slightly improbable, but highly desirable tale of what life could be if the leaders of newly independent kleptocracies thought less of building personal wealth and more of crafting an honorable legacy.
