About FND Blog

  • I am a new author and just wrote my first paper blog (aka a book). I am posting here to collect my thoughts on all things Minnesota and the nation so I don't forget them. It'll all be cannon- fodder for my next novel in the series, Rise of the Ex-Nihilos.

About The Book

  • Foreign and Domestic: Campaign II--Battle for the Middle States by Michael Mannske is a page-turning war-thriller that explores the high price of freedom and the cost of fighting the U.S. president himself to secure it! In this sweeping epic, it is the near future, and the UN has now become a superpower, brutally fighting the United States on its own soil. Ex-Air Force pilot John “Spiderman” Trent’s life is in constant danger, his beloved wife is forced into an internment camp, and the fate of the world is in grave jeopardy. Can Trent’s secret force of military patriots save the day—and the Constitution?

Praise The Book

  • “…a futuristic free-fall. Mannske's high energy/high tech tornado is powerful. I couldn't put it down until I finished. Crawled into work the past two mornings cursing his name.” Jerry Lindberg
    Author, The Fingerprint of God
  • "Cross Tom Clancy with Dean Koontz. Mike knows his science and hardware. I see I'm going to have to go find and buy the rest of the series. I'm a "near-history" junkie and I love technological thrillers anyway. This is right down my alley."
    William Sloan
    Cmdr, American Legion Riders
  • “Thank you for Foreign and Domestic. Glad to see a fellow A-10 guy telling a great story. Check six…or just strafe ‘em!"
    Gen Gene Renuart
    Commander, NORAD

Hypocrite Death Watch

Hypocrisy: professing one thing while doing another. Critics slap this label on a person as a shame-based form of behavior modification. This is just being lazy as it often lets the critic skip the hard work of truth-seeking. It is my premise that hypocrisy is just a fancy overused word for lying.  This list exposes some familiar lies. Only when the lies have been discerned can truth be discovered and effectual shame brought to bear. See if you agree with these suppositions:


Democrats
--We raise taxes but make less money (TRUTH: We love power)

Seth Godin
--I deceive while telling others they can't (TRUTH: I want to make money)
