Before I wrote this book, I interviewed police officers, detectives, police chiefs, captains, and sergeants. Many of these fine groups of people told me that the atrocities in my book happen every day. I was told that there are many people in law enforcement that are like the main character, David Stone. David Stone takes the law into his own hands and gets rid of the bad guys and only the bad guys. I have asked most of the law enforcement people if I could quote them directly and use their names. Each and every one of them emphatically told me no! Some disclosed to me that there are people, good, honorable people, even today are getting rid of the bad guys. Generally, the criminals that rape and torture their victims are the ones that never make it to court. At times during my interviews, I was surprised at what I was entrusted with. Therefore, I did not know if I could place my book under nonfiction, based on true events, or fiction, describing imaginary events. Needless to say, I dislike violent criminals, Blacks that hate Whites, Whites that hate Blacks, Mexicans who hate both Blacks and Whites, and Blacks that hate Mexicans. Some say my book is too graphic. However, it is based on true events. Dan Rodgers was drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam for the Vietnam War. He was a squad leader and sergeant and was involved in the Tet Offensive. He was wounded twice and received two Purple Hearts. He wrote his book "Call Me Sergeant Rock" as an exercise to relieve stress. He lives near Houston and is a writer and race car and jet boat driver. Dan Rodgers, the author of the best-seller, "CALL ME SERGEANT ROCK," also wrote this book you are about to read.

'Science has never had an advocate quite like David Deutsch ... A computational physicist on a par with his touchstones Alan Turing and Richard Feynman, and a philosopher in the line of his greatest hero, Karl Popper. His arguments are so clear that to read him is to experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet and to understand it' Peter Forbes, Independent In our search for truth, how far have we advanced? This uniquely human quest for good explanations has driven amazing improvements in everything from scientific understanding and technology to politics, moral values and human welfare. But will progress end, either in catastrophe or completion - or will it continue infinitely? In this profound and seminal book, David Deutsch explores the furthest reaches of our current understanding, taking in the Infinity Hotel, supernovae and the nature of optimism, to instill in all of us a wonder at what we have achieved - and the fact that this is only the beginning of humanity's infinite possibility. 'This is Deutsch at his most ambitious, seeking to understand the implications of our scientific explanations of the world ... I enthusiastically recommend this rich, wide-ranging and elegantly written exposition of the unique insights of one of our most original intellectuals' Michael Berry, Times Higher Education Supplement 'Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive' Economist 'David Deutsch may well go down in history as one of the great scientists of our age' Scotsman

Can a single act of love save the world from destruction? A peasant born in pre-war Vietnam has memories of a life he will live in the future. These memories offer clues as to why he must now face the horrors of slavery and war in his current life. Is karma a punishment, or is it simply a choice we make? An Dong, a peasant in French Indochina, has dreams of a life he has lived before, but the dreams are of a place and a time that no one could possibly have seen--a place in the future history of a different country. In contrast to his current life of degradation and slavery, his future life is one of freedom and happiness, at least at first. He becomes convinced that his dreams are telling him that he must take action in his current life in order to keep safe that world of the future, but what it is he is supposed to do is not clear. If such things as reincarnation and karma are real, what is their nature? What are the laws that govern them? Are they punishments for lives poorly lived, or are they choices we make?

Enlisting the help of an academy friend with startling abilities, an accident-prone engineer, a trigger-happy infantry veteran, an obsolete mechanoid pilot, and an oft-distracted sci-bot, Lt.
