A More Perfect Union - Hardcover

Light, Elliott: - Elliott Light grew up outside Washington, D.C., in McLean, Virginia, before the beltway encircled the capital city, before farms were turned into housing developments, and before open fields became mega-malls. Light attended both engineering and law school (apparently, unable to make up his mind). He spent three decades practicing law, including environmental, energy, contract, telecommunications, and patent law. (Do you see a pattern here?) But he yearned to be a teller of stories that both entertain and enlighten, and in 2002, his first book, "Lonesome Song", was published. "Chain Thinking" (2003), "The Gene Police" (2018), "Throwaways" (2020), and "The Jackson River Bridge" (2023) followed. 'The Last Rights", published in 2025 was his sixth novel before embarking on this current series. Light enjoys trying Asian-inspired recipes, experimenting with his air fryer (you don't need one, but it really is fun), and reading about new energy technologies (superhot geothermal looks promising). When he's not traveling with his spouse, Sonya, or not writing, he is a dedicated servant to their cat, Feste.
