Maxwell starts at the top. His hair-raising book gives the reader more of a concentrated view of the mindset of the Murderous Intellectuals. Who are they? How can they give the order to kill without regret? Who are the "desk murderers?"
Why the Holocaust?

Brett King is a novelist, psychologist, historian, and an award-winning educator with a
passion for writing thrillers. He's coming on the show to introduce his new thriller, THE RADIX.
The Radix tells the story of a legendary relic thought to possess powers to heal—or
destroy. John Brynstone is the latest in a series of adventurers and researchers who
have searched for the Radix. Across continents, Brynstone and his team must unravel
riddles and ancient mysteries no one has been able to solve for five centuries. But he’s
not alone in his quest. The modern-day descendents of the infamous Borgia family will
stop at nothing to wield the power of the Radix. At the same time, another organization
has sent a nameless assassin to kill Brynstone before he can steal their prize. The Radix
will appeal to readers who enjoy a story with historical mysteries, adventure, and
international suspense.

As Tom Daniels waits to be seen at the nearest VA hospital in 2006, he flashes back to his two years of service during the Vietnam years.
Although he does not support the War in 1968, a “Newsweek” article convinces him that his chances for staying out of combat are good, so he volunteers to be drafted. Just after his first year anniversary in the Army, Tom is ordered to Vietnam, but his Colonel gets his transfer cancelled to keep Tom working as a programmer on base. Tom’s best friend deploys instead.
Five months later, after Tom is married, he has a nightmare in which his buddy is wounded in combat. Tom realizes how guilty he feels about his friend shipping out.
Suddenly the reverie is over and it’s 2006 again. Tom sees a lone veteran in a wheelchair next to the far wall in the waiting room of the VA Hospital. The vet looks a lot like his long lost buddy.

Ira Sukrungruang was born to Thai parents newly arrived in the U.S., they picked his Jewish moniker out of a book of “American” names. In this lively, entertaining, and often hilarious memoir, he relates the early life of a first-generation Thai-American and his constant, often bumbling attempts to meet cultural and familial expectations while coping with the trials of growing up in 1980s America. Talk Thai is a richly told account that takes us into an immigrant’s world. Here is a story imbued with Thai influences and the sensibilities of an American upbringing, a story in which Ira practices English by reciting lines from TV sitcoms and struggles with the feeling of not belonging in either of his two worlds. For readers who delight in the writings of Amy Tan, Gish Jen, and other Asian-Americans, Talk Thai provides generous portions of a rich and ancient culture while telling the story of a modern American boyhood with humor, playfulness, and uncompromising honesty.
