"Mike Fairclough, with The Hero's Voice, stands today with his book as a sentinel, or an early warning system, for what has become a world-wide, contagious groupthink causing the human mind to grow dark. To be pitted against family, friends, and government in an epic struggle for rationalism, freedom, and the pursuit of inalienable rights. "Sit back and enjoy this fast-moving account of what happened to this English schoolmaster. Learn how he responded with moral courage against corruption, free-will versus tyranny, and how he has endured and prevailed in his fight for school-aged children. "Fairclough's fight is your fight. We are blessed to have him and this book to serve as a guidepost during a time of darkness before the inevitable dawn."

July 1918... A male attendant unlocked the door to the women's ward and ushered Alice quickly through it. She looked for Elizabeth around the high-ceilinged expanse of a room that housed over thirty patients. A woman approached and placed her freezing cold hand in Alice's. Through the opaque skin, veins stood proud of the frail tendons that rested on the skeletal structure supporting them. The woman lifted Alice's hand to her own cheek, stroking it and humming, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart", a popular song of the day. She then led Alice to chairs in a bay window where they were to sit together for their allotted hour.Looking for the Last Piece describes the unseen interconnections of people living and dead, and how necessary it is to keep these connections forming. The reader is transported on a journey through ages with murder, suicide and great friendship thrown in.

The working of the mind of a people is always gradual, intentional, and deliberate. The seeds of hatred and segregation are often deliberately sown and gradually take root. They used the weapon of ethnicity - which should have been a binding force of progress, power, peace, and unity - as a force of separation, throwing us into war with each other. Our differences, which are a beautiful thing, were shrouded in darkness whilst they had their hands in the till and our eyes in utter blindfolds.The eyes of the hyena are sharp; he can smell his prey from afar. When he plays with his prey, paws and kisses it with dewy eyes, it is foolishness for the prey and utter stupidity to think that this is love. The realisation comes only when he has become a meal. Completely vandalised and battered. This is the summation of our love story with our leaders.How do we restore our sense? How do we make us think again?
