Years ago, the drug ‘figene’ took the World by storm. Described like Crystal Meth with a kick of Viagra. The gem of this opioid, users become who, not what they consume. The drug changes the internal part of the person, not their exterior. Users of the Nap (Napoleon) Ghost, give themselves enhanced charisma, success in most of their affairs. Unknown athletes are now finding endorsement deals. CEOs who were found to be weak are now lions of prowess. 
  The drug’s fatal side-effect is the fate knocker. In the Nap Ghost drug, death at the age 53, imprisonment, and poisoning give users a taste of their dreams. 
  Neuro-Physicist Jim Below founded the company. He refused to create an antidote to the kicker. This move gives Larissa the urgency to take control of the company.  
  Once in love, both Jim and Larissa are now on a collision course. Of course, they dare not speak of it to anyone. Like the rap adage goes, More Money, More Problems.  
  Volume Louder or Two will follow with enough interest. Peace Out. Doc King Cole

  Romulus is Jacob Abbott's "Makers of History" series explores the legendary founding of Rome through the life of its first king, Romulus. First published in 1852, the biography serves as an introduction to Roman history, blending ancient mythology, folklore, and early historical records.    Abbott reconstructs the semi-mythological era of early Italy, guiding readers through the dramatic stories that shaped the foundation of the Roman Empire. The narrative covers the legendary origins of Rome and the consolidation of its early power:    The Cadence of Early Italy: The book opens with the ancient geography of Italy and the background of Alba Longa, setting the political stage before Rome existed.    The Wolf and the Twins: Abbott recounts the famous legend of Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, their abandonment in the Tiber River, their miraculous survival by a she-wolf, and their upbringing by shepherds.    The Foundation of Rome: The narrative details the building of the city walls on the Palatine Hill, the fierce argument between the brothers, and the tragic death of Remus at the hands of Romulus.    The Asylum and the Outlaws: To populate his new city, Romulus opens Rome as an asylum for fugitives, outlaws, and runaway slaves, creating a rough and fiercely loyal community.    The Rape of the Sabine Women: Abbott explores the famous conflict where the early Romans, lacking wives, abduct women from the neighboring Sabine tribe during a festival, which leads to a massive war.    The Union and the Disappearance: The book finishes with the peace treaty that united the Romans and Sabines under joint rule, Romulus's long reign, and his mysterious disappearance during a violent storm, leading Romans to believe he ascended to heaven as the god Quirinus.

  Trump and the Protestant...

  This book explores how polarized interpretations of America's past influence the present and vice versa. A focus on competing Protestant reactions to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan evidences a fundamental divide over how America should remember historical racism, sexism, and exploitation. Additionally, these Protestants disagree over how the past influences present injustice and equality. The 2020 killing of George Floyd forced these rival histories into the open. Rowley proposes that recovering a complex view of the past, confessing the bad and embracing the good, might help Americans have a shared memory that can bridge polarization and work to secure justice and equality. 
   
   
   
  An accessible and timely book, this is essential for those concerned with the vexed relationship of religion and politics in the United States, including students and scholars in the fields of Protestantism, history, political science, religious studies, and sociology.

  Talking to Strangers: What We...

  For most of history, people lived in small, tight-knit communities where interactions were with familiar faces. But with the Age of Exploration, strangers became a regular part of life. Misunderstandings, amplified by language barriers and cultural differences, were common, and these issues still persist today, even among people who speak the same language. It's easy to make assumptions about how others see the world, and it’s difficult to avoid the biases we carry. 
  Some misunderstandings arise because of lies, and lies can be incredibly difficult to detect. Some deceivers are skilled at hiding their dishonesty, while others may lie poorly, yet still manage to gain people’s trust. It’s not that people are naïve; rather, humans are wired to trust others by default. This tendency, coupled with the belief that we’re good at reading character, often leads us astray. 
  The consequences of misjudging others can be severe—ranging from financial loss and wrongful imprisonment to life-threatening situations. It’s essential to be mindful of the gaps in our understanding and work to see things from others’ perspectives.
