Pinky
Summary
American history is full of heroes: individuals who went above and beyond to ensure the safety and freedom of others. In some cases, they paid the ultimate price. This is the story of one such forgotten warrior, a World War II US Navy fighter pilot charged with defending Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, and other lands against Japanese air attacks with the Cactus Air Force. He was Lieutenant Francis Register, also known as “Pinky”—and while he did not survive to speak of his actions during the war, this navy ace fought for his country to the point of exhaustion and beyond. His bravery earned him a Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, and a Purple Heart, the latter three awarded posthumously. Fortunately for listeners, Lt. Register went against wartime regulations and kept a diary, documenting his daily life, fears, and frustrations while serving in the war. Along with interviews and surviving family members, this diary was used as one of the primary sources for this valuable look at a real American hero, affectionately penned by triple e-Lit award winning author William Franklin Hook, MD, author of Never Subdued and Desert Storm Diary.

Never Subdued II: Radical Islam
Summary
From the award winning author of Never Subdued, Never Subdued II is an eye-opening look at the rise of Islam from unique religious and historical perspectives. It is an action packed true story with heroes and villains, keeping the listener in suspense. Never Subdued II tells how our founding fathers dealt with extortion on the high seas with virtually no assets at their disposal. Yet the founding fathers were dealing with fanatic fundamentalists with the same beliefs and attitudes as those causing acts of terror around the world today. Hook doesn't spare fundamentalists of other religions either, with mentioned reviews of historical acts of terror from fanatics of three of the major religions. Included are Franklin Hook's 10 Commandments of Muslim Diplomacy, which present the listener with suggestions of how to handle the most urgent problems of the world and gives us hope for the future.

Yankee Gone Home
Summary
The numerous US military actions of the 20th century have spanned the globe and led to innumerable consequences, but one truth is undeniable: without our military heroes, all would be lost. Yet even after these soldiers finally return home, many face incredible - and insurmountable - challenges. From noted historical nonfiction writer Franklin Hook comes this compelling true tale of one particular invasion and one particular man. This study is based on interviews, firsthand documentation, court-martial testimonies, and newspaper articles - but the story it tells goes beyond dry facts to reveal a profound human tragedy. Bruce Beard was one of many soldiers involved in the controversial US invasion of Panama in 1989 and its terrible aftermath. Despite a record of good conduct, his service was marred by drug abuse. Without the resources to deal with his problem, Beard fell apart until he ended up with a bad conduct discharge. Since returning home, Beard has been denied care for his PTSD because of that label. And there are more like him, struggling veterans who can’t get the help they need. These soldiers have taken the fall in a less-than-perfect system of military justice. This is their story.

He That Hath Ears
Summary
Hook's book is written scientifically like the doctor he is; reviewing and commenting on all the sources he could find starting with the Council in 553 A.D. in Constantinople (Istanbul) called by Emperor Justinian I to settle the debate of whether Jesus Christ was both human and divine or only divine. You will find this book thorough and well researched, encompassing many authors and figures who have contributed to the issue of reincarnation including Edgar Cayce, an American clairvoyant known as "the sleeping prophet". You will be impressed on the breadth and depth of Hook's research on reincarnation which covers many centuries up to the present. I was particularly impressed that he knew of a medical colleague of mine, Dr. Brian Weiss, who has explored and written about past life regression using hypnosis to recover to recover memories from his patients of their past lives or incarnations. I have Brian speak of how a past life therapy with a young patient changed his life as well as hers. Brian was graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude from Columbia University and Yale medical School. I recommend and encourage you to listen to this extraordinary book about what my friend, fraternity brother, and medical colleague has to teach us about reincarnation. This description written by Douglas Welpton, MD, licensed to practice medicine in Florida, Graduate Phi Bet Kappa and magna cum laude from Stanford University and from Harvard Medical School, the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and a Clinical Fellowship at the National Institiute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland. Edited by the author of the book.
