About the Book

The first Rule Monkeys understood the enormous responsibility entrusted to them in 'The Agreement' that was penned by and for the common monkeys.

The new nation worked and everyone was happy. Then, things changed. The system created by 'The Agreement' was gradually abused over time.

Little Sani Dom ekes out a living with his fishing net. He sees much discontent among the common monkeys since the Rule Monkeys abused their power at the expense of common monkeys.

Tensions escalate and word of a secret meeting spreads. At the meeting, a wise old monkey provides some answers. But are these the answers the monkeys want to hear?

Who is this book for?
  • It's for anyone looking for a beautifully illustrated story that shows how easy it is for corrupt leaders to manipulate the 'rules' to their own benefit.
  • It's for who wants to communicate, simply, how totalitarianism emerges from even the best of systems conceived with the best of 'Agreements'.
What is The Monkey Endgame?
  • It's approachable political fiction for young and old.
  • It's a story that explores the dangers of fake compassion and political misdirection.
  • It's political fiction that addresses government corruption.
  • It's a fable about government, society, and the need for an 'Agreement' that keeps Rule Monkeys from enriching themselves at the expense and freedom of common monkeys.
Other Questions
  • It's a short story. Why? - Good question. The story is long enough to explore major monkey mistakes, but short enough to remain interesting and relatable.
  • Why is the book illustrated? - There are a couple reasons for including illustrations.
  • First, the illustrations reinforce that this is not our world. We can talk honestly about cause and effects in the monkey nation, because no one actually lives in that world. In this story, it's about 'ideas' not 'ideologies'.

  • Second, illustrations are fun for any age - and these illustrations by Zack Demirtshyan draw the reader into the monkey world.

  • Third, this is a fable, and fables need illustrations!
  • Can I read some of the content? - Absolutely! Please see the "Look Inside" feature above.
"The Monkey Endgame draws its own conclusions in story form, but you don't have to agree with them. The point is for all minds to think for themselves rather than accept what the Rule Monkeys tell us."
About the Author: As a father, David Walker knows well the persistent barrage of liberal messages and political correctness aimed at young minds. Everything from radio "news" breaks to sitcoms and even sports networks seem to be nothing more than avenues for delivering messages with a liberal bias. His career which ranges from engineering and project management to entrepreneurial pursuits such as founding a manufacturing company and leading international photo tours keeps him alert to the many threats against our Constitutional and capitalistic freedoms. David is an engineering graduate from Purdue University. He enjoys a life that embraces the logic of engineering, but also the joy of the artistically beautiful. It's a life which prepared him for everything but the shock of realizing his daughter will grow up with far fewer freedoms than he did. It's his belief that each generation should deliver as much or more freedom as they enjoyed to the next. The Monkey Endgame was born of this desire to teach the next generation not to squander liberty as his generation did.
