The author provides facts and myths concerning global warming, as well as a detailed discussion of DNA and its affects on a person's genetics. He brings forth the fantasies surrounding HIV and AIDS and frees the reader's mind from any fear concerning these afflictions. The reader is introduced to the human genome and stem cells with their promises for the near future. He details how global warming is a normal cycle that our Earth has followed and is not due to atmospheric carbon dioxide. He insists the Earth will have a cooling period near the turn of the century that will cause more concern than the warming cycle we are experiencing.

Each of the subjects is presented in a novel manner that the layman will find entertaining.

"The Follower" is Axel Tressler, an indestructible hero. It tells the tale of how an accident at birth led to his becoming a force to be feared and admired. He is the younger of twin brothers who were born after their mother survives an airplane crash. His brother Adam is born next to the wreckage but Axel is not born until three days later. There appears to be nothing different about them; however as Axel reaches puberty, he and his mother recognize that he has unusual strength.

In college, Axel majors in biology, studies to become a doctor and earns his degree. While teaching at the university he develops a computer chip that doesn't require a keyboard or monitor and works by vocal recognition. This is placed in his body and allows him to call up various levels of his internal strength.

Eventually the government agency his twin brother works for is able to use his strength and technical capabilities to render him indestructible. His indestructibility is created by providing him a body coating that is transparent; made of spider webbing and titanium nanotubes; it can withstand the impact of bullets. Axel becomes the driving force behind several major operations for the agency involving terrorists, espionage, and the drug cartel in Mexico.

Like every youngster, John Durbin Husher had many heroes growing up, and they continued to inspire him into adulthood. If he saw Muhammad Ali knock out an opponent, he was thrilled. When he learned about Winston Churchill and how he stood up to the Nazis, he knew what it meant to be a leader.And of course, when he heard John F. Kennedy speak, he felt proud to be an American.

Many of the dozens of heroes profiled in "Heroes Afar" come from the sports world, but politicians, scientists, and actors also encouraged Husher, and he artfully reveals why these great men and women were such an inspiration to him and so many others. Filled with lessons on leadership and each individual's effect on history, this intriguing work is one man's tribute to some of the world's greatest heroes.

For those seeking to learn more about the past and the people who have influenced our lives, "Heroes Afar" is the perfect read.

Axel Tressler is indestructible. Born with special energy levels, he is the recipient of an experimental type of armor-a transparent material made with spider webs and titanium nanotubes-from the U.S. Science Agency. With this unique armor, Axel carries out dangerous, top-secret government missions. But during his "normal" life, he's just an ordinary university biology teacher who has a beautiful girlfriend and a hopeful future.

When his country calls, Axel is there...even if his girlfriend, Tori, isn't too happy about it. The two have agreed to live together for one year to see if they're compatible before they decide to get married. But it's hard to learn if they are marriage material when Axel is never home

Axel's latest mission takes him to Iran to deal with issues involving biological weapons. But things grow more dangerous as he must also deal with the heroin trade in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the long-range missile capabilities of North Korea, and the weapons supply for the Mexican Cartel. Axel must use not only tactical skills in these assignments, but also his advanced knowledge in biology.

With Axel jetting off to every far-flung location in the world, Tori wonders if their relationship can survive. But Axel is wondering if he can survive With everything on the line, there's only one way to find out...
