Pariah - Book Review
"Pariah, written by multi-talented artist and author Timothy
Goodwin, is a science fiction, fantasy novel that incorporates
some very clear ideas to what is wrong with today's world.
The characters are colorfully portrayed and the battles were
very well written. Eric, the main character, is a victim of an abusive father and
endures extreme poverty as a young adult. He is eventually
diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and grows into what could
be called a normal life. He meets and marries a wonderful
woman and her son embraces Eric as his father. Eric loves
his life despite the difficulties in finding a good job and
unfulfilled dreams to relocate his family to a place where his
wife would not suffer from allergies so badly. Eric becomes involved in a motor vehicle accident and
wakes up in a wildly different place called the Itarri. He is
later told that this is a space ship and he is light years - and
possibly another dimension - from the life he once knew.
Everyone on board expects Eric to become someone else
when he regains his senses. Seemingly on the brink of
insanity, he experiences "fragmentation" ? when memories
of other lives collide - but eventually works his way back to
sanity only to discover that he is actually a clone. In a desperate attempt to do whatever it takes to return to a
time and a life he cherished so dearly, Eric undergoes
intensive training. The reader is taken on fantastic space
travel and time travel adventures, battles with foes, scenes
with gods, demi-gods and an old flame that is incredibly
vindictive are good spices for a great read. At times I found myself confused, but I know from
experience that books I have reread many times are those
that challenge the mind and intrigue the reader to return.
The ending has an interesting twist, which I think readers
may suspect early on, but the work is written so well that it
will leave them guessing. " ISBN#:1413713025

The Wal-Mart Decade - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
The Wal-Mart Decade: How a New Generation of Leaders Turned Sam Walton's Legacy into the World's #1 Company was destined for publication. It was simply a matter of when it would be written and by whom. In fact, I'm amazed that it wasn't published long before this. Wal-Mart is so much more than the smiling faces of the senior citizens who greet you with open arms at the front of the store, it's more than the bouncing Smiley Face continually reducing prices in every aisle, and it's certainly much more than a typical discount store chain headquartered in the small Arkansas town of Bentonville. Wal-Mart is the real thing. It's here to stay. It's a world-class company.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life is another book focusing on the obvious. We've heard it all before. In fact, as stated on the inside flap of this very book, we've been hearing this message from this particular author for 30 years. My guess is we'll be hearing it from him for as long as he can speak. And speak he does. Brian Tracy is one of the top professional speakers in the world; he has given more than 2,000 presentations and addresses as many as 450,000 people each year. He's published 32 books and more than 300 audio and video learning programs. He continues to spread his message because he believes it; he has lived it successfully for decades, and has helped thousands of others learn how to set goals, expand their thinking, and reach their full potential.

Why Malta? A Mystery-Thriller Author Tells Why
"Why Malta?" my new Maltese friends kept asking me when they find out that my mystery-thriller The Cellini Masterpiece is set on Malta. Mind you, only the Maltese ask that question. (Some kind of national inferiority complex?) Americans ask "Malta Who?" or "Where the heck is Malta?" or "Is it about the Maltese Falcon?" (They must always think that they're the first ones to think that up.)
Lethal Option - Book Review
"This has to be one of the best detective novels I have read

Lawton is far from new to the world of writing and he
displays excellent story-writing skills in Lethal Option. He
shares much of the same history as his main character,
giving the detective more depth than could be achieved
otherwise.

Book review on Finite Capacity Scheduling, Part III
With this all possible the price could be lowered to a back breaking competitive level giving lower prices to consumers who voted with their dollars while retaining a huge number of proficient hours each time period. It is amazing that with all the freight forwarding software, inventory software, manufacturing scheduling software that no one sees the obvious uses to streamline services. Look at a Taxi Cab company, police dispatch, air traffic controller, train master at a rail yard with trains moving all directions and many 300 miles away all converging and departing simultaneously. Or the Phoenix missile system used by the government which when put onto an F-14 could track and kill 8 target 150 miles away moving at almost any speed in and direction on a three dimensional plane. Ever wonder why no F-15 has ever been shot down in combat? Even a gondola wire could not stop it, it always wins. So is it safe to say that when you have the best of everything that the odds are stacked so far in your favor that knowing the percentages is irrelevant to the game. All that needs to happen is to set fire in motion.
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.
