This is the story of America’s zaniest presidential candidate – who wants to turn the whole population into cyborgs. It’s a true story… stranger than fiction. “Don’t stand there!” Zoltan almost stepped on a landmine. He was in Vietnam, reporting for National Geographic. If his guide hadn’t warned him–he’d be dead. Zoltan didn’t want to die. Who does? But Zoltan realized something else just then. He didn’t want to die ever… In fact, he didn’t want anyone to die ever again…

Two in a Million: A True Story about Illness and Love
‘Vivid … a remarkable balance between offering a memoir of life with a chronic illness and a memoir of a life simply lived’ – Irish Independent
Feather Silence
