Dale L. Netherton’s The Manipulators pulls readers in from the first words of warning about nuclear warfare straight through to the last pages of a bittersweet parting. Although a work of suspense and action, the true heart of Netherton’s book lies with the very real humanity and love of two Russian spies. As Ilea and Natalia are thrown together for a mission to America to aid Russia in destroying America’s nuclear ability, their paths cross until they find themselves falling for one another. How though can two individuals who live a life based on lies ever grow to trust one another? Netherton is a master manipulator himself making readers fall for the two main chacters and relate to their situation. The Russian spies are mostly just like anyone else, good people who find themselves in unimaginable circumstances.

Further complicating their love is the very task of their mission. Nuclear warfare would undoubtedly have serious implications for the world at large. However, for Natalia, who has grown to love America and what it offers, their mission’s ultimate task of destroying America is too much. The action and plot of The Manipulators could easily be adapted to the bigscreen. We live in a world very similar to the one in The Manipulators where every day there are new threats against America. Sometimes, however, as Netherton points out, our biggest threat may be our own idealism that can make us prey to others.

The Random Universe by Dale Netherton presents us with a different approach to understanding and analyzing our universe. The author does not follow the traditional or religious-based theories that an all- knowing God designed our world. He encourages readers to use facts and evidence and not beliefs. He debunks these old theories from men’s imagination and explains the random evolution we have experienced over time. Man has improved and adapted like every other creature, but our limiting beliefs may be holding us back from achieving more knowledge. He lets us question the beliefs about the universe having a beginning and an end and gives evidence that explains how we live in a Random Universe.

The Random Universe analyzes the truth about our existence, the possibility of another life form in our universe, and the notion of a deity who punishes the weak and favors good people. Dale Netherton presents very valid points about our universe. He writes with passion and explains his ideas in great detail. The book is well written, with clear, bold headings, and it was easy to read because he did not use complicated terms. Most of the theories about our universe are based on ideas given by people from the past. They had no advanced technology, yet they formulated theories about celestial gods that later evolved into super gods. The author explains how man conjured up these ideas like Santa Claus, fairies, and leprechauns. He suggests we use reality to understand our existence, not thoughts passed on by older generations. This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to learn more about the randomness of our universe and how to use evidence and reality to understand our existence.

Dale doesn’t waste an inch of page… wish the font were larger for my old eyes.
