** A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM ** (the trilogy)
* BOOK ONE: The Visitor (published by Altered Dimensions Press)
"I happen to really enjoy Civil War stories - a favorite is Killer Angels. I also like sci fi stories such as War of the Worlds and Independence Day. Add to these likes, I love time travel books. So this was an absolute joy for me to read. The historical detail is accurate and presented from the interesting perspective of a historian from the future. The characters, other than the historical ones, are rather quirky. Blair himself is sometimes frustrating and not always reasonable.
The writing is clean and easy. It moves very quickly, especially because you want to know what will happen. The only problem I had was the story is ended after another surprising revelation. It is to be continued! I have no idea how the interference of Blair and the Pests have impacted the world as we know it. I am anxious to find out and I hope the sequel will be out sooner than later." ~ MESreads (Amazon.com)

** ROCK MUSIC IN AMERICAN CULTURE: THE SOUNDS OF REVOLUTION ** (published by McFarland & Co., Inc.)
"Pielke's writing confidently--and successfully--strides the line between academic rigour and wider accessibility, the tone shifting gracefully through the gears of carefully explained philosophical theory (Marshall McLuhan, Hegel's thoughts on Truth), detailed rock and roll history (analyses of album covers, exploration of technologies) and personal anecdotes that welcome the reader with open arms into his own past, all spiced with a healthy tang of irony. His discussion of the two sides (revolutionists and traditionalists) remains even-handed and non-judgemental, despite overtly stating on which side he stands. A clear, untainted picture is painted of these twin forces interlocking, like a set of immense, jagged jaws gnashing against itself as it rolls through time, grinding the teeth of American culture into new, uneasily meshed formations. Readers from either side would appreciate this illustration of uncontrollable phenomena without needing to sympathise with Pielke's own perspective...He also has a knack for restating accepted facts in a way that allows you to better appreciate their significance." ~ Gareth Long (Uncustomary Book Reviews)
