Dark Autumn - Book Review
"Now this could definitely be a movie! Dark Autumn is
fantastic action-packed futuristic thriller that had me riveted
for days. The energy was kept very high throughout the book. Occasionally Clint Dunshee's characters performed
seemingly super-human tasks, similar to James Bond or
Dirk Pitt. However, the reader is also shown their flaws and
the strength of intimate friendships ? bonds that are so
deep they are willing to risk their lives for them. The abilities
of these characters are made more believable because of
the incredibly difficult training scenarios the author leads the
reader through. The theme is set in the future when space travel and space
science is a part of life. Earth is contacted from another
planet when one of the science probes is picked up by alien
humans. As it turns out Earth is only one of hundreds of
planets with intelligent life, only some were human. Many
planets in the universe helped bring Earth's technology up
to par in exchange for the planet's rich agriculture and
minerals. Most planets worked on a good trade relation in
relative peace, but the trouble-making Marvonians were on
the edge of acceptance. This planet took it upon themselves
to steal from Earth and attack their ships within a few light
years of Marvon. The main characters of the book, Alan, Bill, Carrie, Julie and
Angela are all highly intelligent youth that are singled out for
highly trained positions. Despite their youth and
inexperience, they were considered Earth's only chance to
avoid a war with a technologically superior race. Bounty
hunters and sabotage plays a part in a deadly scavenger
hunt while plans are laid to rescue the hostages held by
Marvonians. Earth has a chance to destroy their image of
being a young planet and elevate into more sophisticated,
honorable one that the other planets can respect and hold
trade with more readily. In order to do this, Earth must play the game carefully and
honorably - at the same time the team must eliminate the
dangerous problems with Marvon and free the Earthling
prisoners before it is too late. I believe this book deserves the highest ratings and I would
recommend it to anyone, anytime, anywhere." Publisher: Publish America, Inc.

Thinking for a Change - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
John C. Maxwell is back again in Thinking for a Change: 11 Ways Highly Successful People Approach Life and Work to add to his more than 30 previous titles with his encouraging tone and down-to-earth writing style. As usual he offers a very simple premise: "To do well in life, we must first think well." This certainly is not a new premise. In fact, it's been around for years, and we've heard it paraphrased by dozens of authors of note. However, as usual, Maxwell simplifies, clarifies, and guides his readers on the journey of mastering "good thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential. Through his extensive research over the years he has found that "successful people think differently than unsuccessful people."

Her Backyard by Doreen Lewis is an adventure, romance
novel that depicts a career woman in the middle of

readers within the age group between 30 and 40 will find a
connection with Audrey, the main character.
Kmarts Ten Deadly Sins - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Kmart's Ten Deadly Sins: How Incompetence Tainted an American Icon was begging to be written. It probably would have surfaced much earlier if not for the fear of many authors that publishing too soon would result in the omission of who knows how many future bewildering tactics by the forever transforming retail giant, K-mart. Actually, contrary to my early assumption, this book is less an indictment of K-mart than it is a combination of warnings and lessons to everyone else. There are so many negative examples in the news today of how NOT to succeed in business. However, many organizations fail to acknowledge or learn from these examples.

Hug Your Customers - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Don't panic. Jack Mitchell, the author of Hug Your Customers: The Proven Way to Personalize Sales and Achieve Astounding Results, isn't suggesting that you take his title literally. Hugging your customers, he says, has nothing to do with being touchy-feely around them and everything to do with offering them over-the-top service. His advice is hardly groundbreaking. For instance, what rookie employee has not heard the old adages such as "know your customer, think outside the box, have a 'no problem' attitude"? While we've all heard this obvious, age-old advice repeatedly, how many of us can honestly say we've seen it practiced with any level of success where we shop, eat, travel, etc.? That's the point of this book. Everyone knows what should be done to create repeat customers ... very few people do it!
