The Last Idealist on Earth
A speculative satire of planetary redemption, alien intervention, and the power of pub-born revolution.
In a world on the brink of collapse, one man — armed with stubborn hope, a pint in hand, and a circle of fiercely loyal friends — becomes the unlikely architect of humanity’s salvation.
Opher Goodwin never asked to be President of the World. He just wanted to fix things. But when four luminous aliens arrive with the power to reshape reality, he’s thrust into a revolution that dismantles nations, rewrites economies, and seeds life across galaxies.
From televised ridicule to planetary acclaim, from the back room of the Blue Post to the chambers of the United Nations, this is the story of how idealism — flawed, furious, and deeply human — might just save us all.
A tale of transformation, grief, and the quiet joy of playing hide-and-seek with your dog in a field of wildflowers, The Last Idealist on Earth is a satirical, soulful journey through the end of one world and the beginning of something better.
I enjoy writing satire – serious content in a playful manner. My novels are intended to be entertaining and thought-provoking; an easy read with lasting issues to mull over.
This is my latest outing – a novel from a little while back that I have just rewritten and had edited. I hope you enjoy it.
