Book Description
I wrote a personal story motivated by the urge to chronicle what struck me as a unique and unusual developmental social and professional life. I hope the story will interest the readers. I certainly relished the nostalgia and recollections of the past from the humble beginnings, and reaching the top with success in a manner from which the origins cannot be told or surmised. The purpose is not to glorify poverty nor encourage social upbringing in an environment devoid of parental support, but to indicate the inherent resilience of a human being. It is possible to survive and succeed despite adverse circumstances, if among other factors, one gets lucky breaks or your journey enjoys fortunate events. In my case, success was certainly almost entirely the result of lucky strokes and unexplained events which came to the rescue at the right time and in the correct manner. The morrow was miraculously shaped without concerted planning. Assistance that came from various unsolicited quarters, testified to inherent good nature of people. In many a situation similar to mine, the environment can be a fatal and destructive derailment. One had to have the ability to learn quickly and to have the potential to avoid pitfalls.

Book Description
Following a rash of bizarre mass murders at the outer fringes of the earth, murders that mummify victims and leave no trace of evidence, The President of the United States receives an anonymous blackmail letter from the terrorist. If the president does not adhere to the perpetrator's fanatic agenda of radical public policy changes on a strict time line, group assassinations of holocaust proportions will occur in densely populated centers. The chief executive teams a young forensic doctor, Gilbert "Sneetz" Schnetele, with an old investigative journalist, Albert Muldoon, to head Operation Worldsafe, the commission mandated to identify and destroy the terrorist and disarm the WMD to avoid a threatened massacre in Washington on The Fourth of July. The assignment becomes progressively more daunting as the deadline for disaster approaches. The cliff-hanging pursuit takes Sneetz on an international odyssey loaded with land mines and pot holes. Some Kind of Angel is a fast-paced story of how a man's heroism is revealed when, under tremendous personal pressure, he makes choices and takes actions contrary to his own avowed values.
