Here is that comment in its entirety and without change from the site:
“A poorly self aggrandizing working of ficition. November 8, 2012
By Robert M. Stanford
Format: Hardcover
I should prefix this by saying that I know the author of this book. To start regardless of how this book this being marketed by the author, it is a piece of fiction, the author never served in the military in capacity. Where to start with this review, the book is very poorly written and the author clearly did not do much in the way of historical research on military tactics in general or the Vietnam war in particular. The book reads much like a bad war movie mixed with some kind of cheesy martial arts film, the battle scenes are ridiculously unrealistic. Including laughably bad claims like how the author was trained in hand to hand combat techniques where he would be able to kill some one with one punch in less than one second, he selected for the group because he was genius with Forest Gump like running ability, doing three hours of weight training for 6 straight days a week for months, claims of gun with finger printer readers that only let the owner fire them, act. Save yourself some money and avoid this book”
Robert does indeed know me. However, it goes a little deeper. Robert is my nephew—the first born of my younger sister. She is four years younger than I am. I was working for a living teaching school when she graduated from Illinois State University. She didn’t meet her future husband until she was working as a teacher. Therefore, Robert wasn’t even born during the time period of most of the book. Robert also never served in the military. Neither did his father or mother.
I do state that I have a tested I.Q. of 130 or above. Both of my children have tested I.Q.s of 130 or above. Does that prove that I do? Of course not. Therefore, before I wrote the book, I went to the public school district that I attended from first grade through high school. I asked for and received a copy of my school records including the results of an I.Q. test. I have written proof that I have a tested I.Q. of 130 or above. If I didn’t, I would not have put it in the book. However, I never said, anywhere in the book, that I am a genius.
As far as his statement that “the book is very poorly written.” That is, at best, an opinion. Read again what he wrote. How well written are his comments? I was a high school American government/economics teacher for ten years. Having been a teacher, I am use to negative comments from students. Most of those comments were from people who did not do well in my class. I expected the students to earn their grade through work and meeting my standards. If they did not, they suffered the consequences. Most did not like the consequences.
If you read the dedication page, I paid an English teacher to edit the work. We did each of the six chapters the same way. At the time, I lived in Tucson and she lived in Arkansas where she taught high school English. I mailed a chapter to her, she ripped it to shreds. I corrected and rewrote the chapter based upon her suggestions and sent the rewritten chapter back to her. She found more items to criticize and gave more suggested corrections. I corrected a second time and sent them back once again. She approved the chapter and mailed it back. When Robert states that “the book is very poorly written,” he criticizes her. I do not believe those criticisms are justified.
Concerning the publication of the book itself, I did not want to go through a regular publishing house because I did not want the book to be edited by the publisher. Since I did not know how to publish a book, I hired a publishing company to do the actual printing of the book and the creation of the front and back book covers. When the company rejected my print copy because the margins were wrong several times including after I went to a Peoria printer to have the margins done correctly by a professional, I wrote the CEO of the company saying I was cancelling the contract because the company was not fulfilling its obligation to print the book. Without my knowledge, the book was printed and offered to the public including on Amazon in paperback and hardcover editions. My guess is that a company lawyer told the CEO that he had better fulfill the contract. I did not know the book was in distribution until I received a royalty check from the company. The copyright date on this published version of the book is 2007.
In the mean time, after borrowing money from my mother, I went to the Peoria printer and paid that company to print my book under my Arizona established publishing company. I had established the company in Arizona before moving back to Illinois in 2004. I never planned to live in Illinois—the land of Barack Hussein Obama—permanently. Until this book was published, I had not actually published anything through the company. My book through my publishing company was published in 2008.
Here is a strange occurrence. Robert’s mother—my younger sister—purchased four books in 2008. There are four people in her family—mother, father, brother, sister. I would have thought that Robert would have first read the book in 2008. He certainly did not have to purchase it from Amazon.
It was family squabble time. In 2004, I moved back to Illinois to care for my mother after my father had died. My two sisters and I had a verbal agreement that I would stay in Illinois until mom dies, caring for her in her home. She would not be put into a nursing home. After a series of minor strokes over a period of about a year, my sisters broke the agreement and put her in a home. Conflict resulted over my staying or leaving the house and the State. Discussion was done by e-mail. I stated in one e-mail that I was going to write more Black Sword books—five in total—and the next one would include the current dispute.
In early January of 2012, I received an eviction notice. The process continued through the year until a court date was set for November 30, 2012. (I believe that is the correct date. I did not bother to check to make sure.) On October 15, 2012, my oldest sister died after a brief illness. On November 8, 2012, Robert posted his criticism of the book. Coincidence? On November 30, 2012, I was court ordered to leave the house by midnight on December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2012, I moved out of the house.
If Robert meant to hurt sales of the book, I hope he did. I want the other company to stop selling my book. And the company did send me notice that I am being dropped. Good! I had told them not to publish.
If you read this blog regularly, you may know that I actually write five blogs, six days a week. Not on Sunday.

http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com—politically conservative
http://christiangunslinger5.blogspot.com—pro-traditional family
http://christiangunslinger7.blogspot.com—politically conservative concentrating on the primaries and the upcoming general election
By the very nature of my blogs, I expect the radical Left, pro-abortion/unborn baby MURDERERS, and pro-homosexual behavior advocates to attack my e-book as well as anything else I wrote and publish. Robert may be the first but I do not expect him to be the last.
The e-book costs only $3.00. The only cheaper price is $2.99 and I do not price my books that way. Everyone should know that $2.99 is actually $3.00. What a sad marketing ploy! Spend the $3.00 to determine whether or not Robert is correct. If a member of Amazon prime, the book is a free selection. You just might be pleasantly surprised. I have received very positive comments from readers including people who have actually been in the military unlike Robert and a student at the United States Naval Academy located in Annapolis, Maryland who is the grandson of a friend.
And finally, I would like nothing better than being reconciled with my sister and the rest of my earthly family. The theme of the second book is family. Planned publication date 2015. The theme of the third book is politics with the planned publication date being 2017. The fourth about education in 2019. And the last and final book in the series, on the church of JESUS, the CHRIST in 2021.

“Restaurant Robbed At Gun Point For Third Time Since Guns Were Banned From Store
Leah Barkoukis
May 25, 2014
Those in the pro-gun control camp believe that gun-free zone signs are enough to deter criminals (Of course they are! Criminals always obey signs. They just don’t obey laws!—my addition). People with a little more common sense, however, understand that criminals are not law-abiding people to begin with and so it’s best to allow law-abiding citizens to carry inside establishments (No! No! That’s not politically correct!—my addition). When that right is taken away in favor of a sign, this is what happens:
‘You have to wonder if the CEO of Jack in the Box is kicking himself after making the decision to request all gun owners to leave their guns at home (Of course not! What are a few robberies in exchange for being praised for being politically correct?—my addition). It was not even 2 weeks ago that Jack in the Box essentially banned guns from their fast food joints, and now the third armed robbery has taken place since then.
According to Click2Houston, (Houston is a Leftist city! No one would disobey a sign in Houston, would they?—my addition) 4 men put on gloves and masks before walking into a Houston Jack in the Box, robbing the restaurant at gunpoint. The armed crooks robbed both employees and customers who were eating at the fast food place (To rob customers doesn’t seem right does it? They were obeying the sign!—my addition).
Who would have thought that criminals would break the restaurant’s policy (NO one! What is wrong with those criminals? Have they no respect for the sign?—my addition)? But at least they did not have any law abiding gun owners to try and stop them and make their job more dangerous. These gun owners would have to either leave their guns at home or eat somewhere else (I would chose to eat somewhere else!—my addition).
For this to happen for the 3rd time in about 10 days has to make one wonder if armed criminals are just targeting Jack in the Box since they know law abiding citizens will not be armed there (It must be just a coincidence! Perhaps they like the name! The name attracts them! Change the name; keep the signs!—my addition). You can read about the 1st armed robbery at Jack in the Box that we reported here.
The whole gun-ban fiasco at Jack in the Box started with some gun owners who were open carrying at another Jack in the Box a few weeks ago. Anti-gun groups saw the pictures and were so outraged by it that they fabricated all kinds of lies about employees cowering in fear in locked coolers (Surely it must be true! It comes from gun control advocates! The pillars of any community!—my addiction).
Because of pressure from Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety Jack in the Box decided to ask gun owners to disarm themselves.’
Three armed robberies since the new gun-free policy was implemented …What will it take for the CEO of Jack in the Box and other companies to realize that gun-free zones can actually do more harm than good to their businesses, employees, and customers (How about a major loss of revenue because business decreasing?—my addition)?”
Here is my position on gun free zones: Gun free zones increase my likelihood of being harmed. Gun free zones increase the likelihood of family and friends being harmed. Therefore, I will take my money to those businesses that are not located in gun free zones! Money talks and money walks! Money is the language of business.
