  We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
  Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
  Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
  The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.

  No Shield From The Dead

  No Shield From The Dead by Gordon R. Dickson - No conceivable force could penetrate Terri's shield. Yet he was defenseless. 
  It was a nice little party, but a bit obvious. Terri Mac saw through it before he had taken half a dozen steps into the apartment. A light flush staining his high cheek-bones. "This is ridiculous," he said. 
  The light chatter ceased. Cocktail glasses were set down on various handy tables and ledges; and all faces in the room turned toward a man in his late fifties who sat propped up invalid-wise on pillows in a chair in a corner of the room. 
  "The Comptroller is perspicacious," said the old man, agreeably, waving one hand in a casual manner. "On your way, children." 
  And the people present smiled and nodded. Quite as if it were an ordinary leave-taking, they pushed past Terri Mac and filed out the door. Even the blonde, Terri had picked up at the embassy ball and who had brought him here, strolled off casually, but in a decidedly less drunken fashion than she had exhibited earlier in the evening. 
  "Sit down," said the old man. Terri Mac did so, gazing searchingly at the skinny frame and white eyebrows in an unsuccessful effort to connect him with something in memory. "This is ridiculous," he repeated.

  For readers of Unbroken and Flags of Our Fathers, The Mailbox is a sympathetic portrayal of veterans and the burdens they carry throughout their lives. 
    
  Vernon Culligan had been dead to the town of Draydon, Virginia, so long that when the crusty Vietnam vet finally died, only one person noticed. Twelve-year-old Gabe grew up in the foster care system until a social worker located his Uncle Vernon two years before. When he comes home to discover that his uncle has died of a heart attack, he’s terrified of going back into the system—so he tells no one. The next day, he discovers a strange note in his mailbox: 
  I HAVE A SECRET. DO NOT BE AFRAID. 
  And his uncle’s body is gone. 
  Thus begins a unique correspondence destined to save the two people that depended on Vernon for everything. Through flashbacks, we learn about Gabe and Vernon’s relationship, and how finding each other saved them both from lives of suffering. But eventually, Vernon’s death will be discovered, and how will Gabe and the mystery note writer learn to move forward? 
  The Mailbox is not a story about death—though it begins with a death. It’s also not a story about Vietnam vets, although the author works with Vietnam veterans and wrote this novel, in part, to illuminate their sacrifices and suffering. The Mailbox is a story about connections—about how two people in need can save each other.
