The Afterlife Codes describes the remarkable life journey of Susy Smith in her search for an answer to what happens to the soul after the death of the physical body.

Smith has arranged a secret code which can be broken only by information in a message she intends to send after she dies. "The concept is that if you hear from me when I'm no longer on Earth, it should suggest that I've survived somewhere after death." She has established the Susy Smith Project at the University of Arizona for anyone else who wishes to leave their own secret code.

Smith has spent most of her life researching life after death, and she believes that modern science has validated many of her theories. She says "that this is what many of our scientists today are saying: that all matter, including the human body, is composed of energy or force controlled by consciousness-which lives in everything, forever." She adds that "at the death of the physical matter within which this awareness resides, the soul leaves, sailing forth into other dimensions of time and space."

Although she wondered even as a child about what lay beyond physical life, Smith resisted many of the insights she was given over the years. Trained as a journalist and scientist, she wanted evidence. She chronicles her doubts and the events that eventually led her to accept the validity of the information given to her primarily by her spirt guides.

Her guides have continually emphasized that "you do survive death and therefore how you live on Earth is important." She shares the guidelines they've provided her for the spiritual development we need to do in our physical lives in preparation for the life afterward.

Smith has devoted nearly fifty years to investigating spirit communication and survival of the soul. The Afterlife Codes is her thirtieth book on this fascinating subject. It's must reading for anyone who has wondered about what happens to the soul after death.

This is a must read! She walks you through a distinctly entertaining journey we call life. Her enthusiasm makes you smile, her joy for living is evident, and it is hard to put down once you begin. Susy, one day when I cross over, we must do lunch. :-)

Susy Smith is a gregarious and entertaining author. I was captivated by her life story and by the details of her awakening psychic powers. She tells a wonderful story that is hard to put down. Anyone interested in the subject of the afterlife will enjoy this book.

This book is an excellent introduction to political science. Moreover, I would rank it as probably the best-edited book ever.

From the 704th Tank Destroyer Battalion Review: This book is very handsomely presented. It is an ideal coffee-table edition showing many of the troops in various situations and depicting many of the outstanding events that were part of the 704th's historic drive across France into Czechoslovakia.

Evans is a fascinating man to listen to. He is a decorated veteran, but shuns the recognition he rightly deserves. He admits that some of his actions during the heat of combat "might have been foolhardy." Evans was not interested in medals, only in trying to keep his men alive. As Evans' Third Army Com mander, General George S. Patton remarked, "No one ever won a war by dying for his country. He won by making the other poor bastard die for his country."

Evans met several truly historical figures. First and foremost was Patton. After the first day of the Battle of Arracourt, Patton visited Evans' command post to commend him on a job well done. That was just the first of many encounters with General Patton. After hostilities ceased in 1945, Evans was assigned to a Prisoner of War camp near Landshut, Germany. There, while interrogating prisoners, he briefly met General Vlasov, another larger-than-life individual. Vlasov was a former White Russian officer who was convinced (some say coerced) to help the Nazis against the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. Later, in Switzerland, Evans was able to get a glimpse of a compound full of Nazi war criminals, most notable of whom was Herman Goering.

Evans was also fortunate to have been able to participate in the design, testing and eventual combat deployment of the M18 "Hellcat" tank destroyer. The United States Army found that its antitank capabilities were woefully inadequate against the masses of German armor, so a new tank destroyer was desired. Evans, along with a handful of other armor officers from various posts around the US, was invited to Detroit to the Buick Division of General Motors, to offer suggestions for the design of this new vehicle. There are precious few times in a soldier's career that he is given the opportunity to impact upon the equipment he will use in the performance of his duty. Evans and these other officers seized the moment and helped to design one of the most effective combat vehicles ever. In ju! st a few short months the M18 went from the drawing board to the maneuver field and then the European Theater of Opera tions.

This book was one of the best books I've read about the Navy SEALs in combat. The author did a good job in letting his audience know what he was feeling at the time. Yeah, the missions got a little repetitive, but that's life, thing get repeated. This wasn't some fiction book where the author could make every mission different from the others. Overall I think the book did about as good a job as any book could do to show people what being a SEAL was like.

Hi I'll get write to the point awsome book I was 8 or 9 when I read it and to be honest 8 or 9 year olds don't have the best attention spands, but, the book held it. It was like I was in the jungle with him, swimming in the croc filled waters and holding my sawed off shot gun waiting for the VC, point is it is one of the best books I've ever read it is a must read, ...

RM2 Smith, Point/Swimmer/Rifleman, Shotgun. 257 combat missions in Nam under his belt. He gives you an outstanding description of the missions at the Nam's Jungle. I've read the 314 pages of the book in 3 days. Smith grabs you until the last page of the last mission. Reading the book you became one of the Foxtrot Platoon's member, real near the VC and between MM2 Funkhouser and RM2 Smith...............Just dont miss it.....its a real good non-fiction Vietnam portrait!!!!!!! 5 stars ***** book

A very interesting book. I enjoyed it. It is for all people who like Navy SEAL's

Gary Smith tells about his five tours of duty as a Navy Seal in Vietnam through three different books: Death in the Jungle, Death in the Delta and Master Chief. All of these well written books are exceptional in that they not only tell the story of terror filled seconds during battle, but Smith also talks about the sheer boredom and mundane tasked that must be done. His stories about killing VC - VC ants that is, while waiting on ambushes are funny in otherwise near death incounters. Smith is able to talk about the inhumane acts that occur in war just as he is able to talk about the fun times. I was brought to tears while reading about the mother and baby killed during an ambush of a Junk and equally shed tears of laughter when he cooked "Venison" that barked!

Smith does an exceptional job interspersing Vietnamese words and phrases in all three books which gives the read a sense that Smith was a professional that took the time to increase his advantage by learning their language. The one criticism I can point out is that he listed too many of the overnight ambushes. It became hard to distinguish one from another after awhile. I also get the feeling that there is much more to tell about his tour with the PRU but that it might bring up too many unpleasant memories.

Finally, Smith makes a one sentence statement that Captain Gormly was one of the best COs he ever served under which speaks volumes about both warriors. A Very good set of books and I recommend these to anyone interested in getting a birds eye view of war from a Seal's perspective.

It is a very well written book that takes a good look at the SEALs in Vietnam. It is very detailed and makes you think you were really in these situations.

This is the worst Seal Book ever written.

Having read my way through a good portion of books on the SEAL mission in Vietnam, I would have to say this one ranks pretty low. The author seems to be unfocused and the story floundering for a bit. Actually, to be honest, i never finished the book, a rare thing for me, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Don't worry about this one for your SEAL list.

This book was OK. I think though there should have been a glossary or something in the back of the book for all the Vietnamese words he used! I couldn't keep them straight. As well as he himself kept jumping inbetween calling his commanding officer Mr. name and Dai Uy. It got confusing as to whether he was talking about the same guy. Enjoyed reading about all of the missions!

Here are my thoughts on this book.

Pros: 1. Very reasonably priced as a comprehensive review book and supposedly a money back guarantee.
2. It is current and up to date (as of the April 2003 exam)
3. It has a pretty good variety and quantity of examples and practice problems.

Cons: 1. There are a large number of errors in the example and practice problems. I found at least 50 errors in using this book as a review guide and it is difficult, especially on some of the example problems where I would wonder for half an hour where I went wrong. Some of the errors are obvious, others are difficult or near impossible to spot if you are trying to relearn this material and remember very little. I am sure there are significantly more errors since my review did not cover the book comprehensively and I'm sure I missed a lot as well.
2. The text is not very well written. Some sections go into too much detail while others simply scratch the surface. There were times when I learned more from reading the EIT handbook than from this review book.
3. Lastly, I was a little disappointed when I went to take the practice exam and I found several identical questions to the practice problems provided in the different chapters. The least they could have done was make sure not to reuse questions so that when we'd like to take the practice exam we haven't just seen the questions from review sections.
