Books with author Sam N Smoker

Taking a magical leap five years into the future, Georgia and her young rock band embark on a worldwide tour to learn firsthand of wondrous eco/bio solutions developed by newly concerned and highly motivated societies in ten different nations: Canada, India, Germany, South Korea, Russia, Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and the U.S. Everywhere they go—27 very interesting locations in all—she and her Bold Scarab Rockers are greeted by students who’ve set new green lyrics to music for them to play—which they do, enthusiastically! And the audiences join right in—it’s like sing-along karaoke!But can the marvelous eco/bio advances revealed on the tour become ongoing, concrete realities? That is but one of the questions Georgia and the gang are faced with.The more immediate questions turn out to be: Is an election year in America now more likely to deliver surprises than widely expected results? How can complacent voters be motivated to show up, make hard choices, and prevent unpleasant outcomes?

We’ve all heard of, or known, someone who is succeeding despite the impact of a horrific accident. Or is capable of performing amazing mathematical calculations. Or can instantly recall reams of complex information. Or even, on occasion, exhibit preternatural abilities to glimpse the future.In developing characters that check all of the above boxes, the author presents the reader with his version of a true supergirl. No flying through the air. No stopping bullets or speeding trains. Just extraordinary mental capabilities, a fierce determination to attack the problem of malnutrition, and the ability to convince others to join her in the battle. She wears an apron, not a cape.While Smoker weaves a fictitious story, he presents ample evidence that the very real dilemma of child hunger in America has real solutions. And he shows the reader that those solutions, or similar ones, could be successfully implemented, if only the American middle class would shed their complacency, and let their conscience be their guide.
