When Hitler ordered the total annihilation of the small village of Lidice, Czechoslovakia on June 10, 1942, a pair of newborn twin girls was secretly hidden from the Nazis while their parents and the rest of the village were massacred. The son of one of the infant girls, CIA Agent Myk McGrath, has become the world s most prolific agent. Now he s on a frenetic search to catch a cunning group that has outsmarted the country s highest intelligence agency and vanished from their watchful eye. In the midst of Myk s hunt, a defector arises whose allegiance is unknown, a defector with ties to Lidice. China s top physicist is snatched from his beach vacation and forced to replicate his breakthrough discovery in electromagnetic technology. New York City awakes to a terrifying phenomenon: seventy percent of its electricity has been permanently wiped off the power grid. Myk is in a race against time to find who s behind the attack and prevent an already fragile U.S. economy from turning into a calamity. In his pursuit, Myk begins to piece together a lifelong enigma: why his mother and her twin sister abruptly ended their relationship at the time of his birth, and why his mother developed within him the skills that would make him the most prodigious agent the CIA has ever known. The deeper he digs into exposing a devious conspiracy against the U.S., the more he uncovers the stunning truth about the secret lives of the twins from Lidice.

"As its title suggests, Fitzgerald's well-designed follow-up to his Beyond Chicken Soup (2019) takes its initial cues from Poor Richard s Almanack, collecting the author s wisdom and gentle humor on a wide variety of topics, ranging from ethics and morality to God to loneliness to sports. The author shifts easily from a tone of jocularity to one of serious concentration and back... The tone adopted throughout is that of inviting conversation; readers seeking practical reminders of everyday wisdom will doubtless respond. A friendly, all-purpose compendium of thought-provoking intellectual odds and ends." --Kirkus Reviews 
 Richard the Poorer's Food 4 Thought is a smorgasbord of thoughts and ideas carefully crafted to stimulate cogitation on all manner of topics and issues. For those cogitators who prefer snacky or hors-d oeurvey kinds of fare in this regard, Food 4 Thought offers 880 bite-sized morsels in the form of what Ben Franklin referred to as moral sentences, prudent maxims, and wise sayings. These tidy tidbits fall into 57 categories ranging from Anger to Men &amp; Women to Hope &amp; Happiness to Work &amp; Career. 
 For those cogitators who prefer a little heftier fare, Food 4 Thought offers 69 mini-essays on a wide range of topics, from courtship to the state of manhood in America to the real cause behind the obesity pandemic. These Buns &amp; Biscuits, as they are herein referred, are a page or less in length and are meant to be partaken of one or two at a time. For those cogitators who prefer something heftier still, Food 4 Thought offers several hardy entrées. Rounding out Food 4 Thought's salivating fare are several exotic confectionaries. 
 Bon appétit!

In clear, simple prose, readers are advised to take stock of their own lives, trust but verify the good things they get from others, and keep their focus on the important things in life. A consistently interesting if occasionally frustrating collection of inspirational thoughts. Kirkus Reviews Many of us who grew up in the Boomer Era were afflicted with a sort of chronic angst. Something not quite identifiable was ever not quite right. In an earnest effort to rid ourselves of our dis-ease, we tried all manner of remedies. We took the Road Less Traveled; we nurtured our Inner Child; we cared for our Soul; we ran with the Wolves; we illumed ourselves in Celestine light; we had conversations with God; we got tight with our Guardian Angel; we cavorted with the Goddess; we embraced the latest Diet; we pursued our Soulmate; we drummed in the Woods; we went on Vision Quests; we slurped Chicken Soup by the bucketful; we squatted with the Buddha; we sat in Sweat Lodges; we recovered our Cheese; we rebalanced our Chi; we chanted in Sacred Chambers; we followed our Bliss; even paid the toll for the car behind us. 
 Despite all these efforts, however, a sense of angst, both in ourselves and in the nation at large, would seem only to having gotten worse, as evidenced by a steady rise in such health-of-the-nation indicators as alcohol abuse, domestic violence, single motherhood,, absentee fatherhood, school shootings, road rage, teen suicide, personal debt, obesity, binge buying, clinical depression, device addiction, distracted driving, divorce, and opioid poisoning. 
 Why? How could such a wealth of remedies on the one hand lead to such dismal results on the other? One possible explanation and the premise of this yet-one-more-book-on-the-subject is that, instead of our having been encouraged by the self-help and mental-health communities to aim the arrow of our concern a bit more toward other people, we have been encouraged to keep the arrow of our concern disproportionately aimed toward ourselves. 
 Seekers after the kind of life that will matter even when one is gone might want to keep one copy of this unique offering at their workplace, a second on their nightstand.

Beyond Chicken Soup: Toward a Life Worth All the Considerable Bother

"A warmhearted parable featuring a plucky squirrel who tackles life s big issues." Kirkus Reviews Gabriel, a pre-adolescent gray squirrel, is being tormented at school by the socially dominant letes, led by Chopper and Bammer, who are always finding new ways to humiliate Gabriel in front of their peers. Gabriel is estranged from a biological father who has lost all contact with his only son; alienated from a stepfather who seems to resent Gabriel s very presence; and barely tolerated by a popular older sister, Cherice, who beats Gabriel time and again at video games. To the chagrin of his mother and stepfather, Gabriel is no longer welcome at the Church of the Sacred Elm, where Gabriel recently asked the Reverend Willow, in front of the entire congregation, if the Great Rodent could create an acorn so big he couldn t eat it all. Curious and reflective by nature, Gabriel had meant no harm; he had simply been unable to resist the demands of an insatiable curiosity. 
 Increasingly despondent and desperate, Gabriel sends a letter to Scurry McMurray, a celebrity pawnut player, requesting Scurry s autograph. Gabriel hopes that possessing even a tiny piece of a celebrity pawnut player s greatness will elevate his own stature in the eyes of his tormenters. When Gabriel does not receive a reply, he sets out, woefully unprepared, on a quest to get the great Scurry McMurray s autograph in person. Venturing deeper into the forest than he had ever been before, Gabriel becomes hopelessly lost. What now? 
 Adults and teens who have been bullied or marginalized in their lives, or who have contemplated taking desperate measures to end their pain, will find deep comfort in this poignant tale.
