“Brian Kinnaird has written a truly original book for anyone interested in the nature of the heroic and how our myths and stories reinforce our inner beliefs and strengths. You will smile remembering your favorite superheroes and finally understand why mankind has always told its tales. Is Spider-Man a modern Hercules? Maybe so. In fact, reading that comic long ago may have just made you a better crime-fighter.” --Dave Smith (AKA J.D. "Buck" Savage), law enforcement writer, speaker, and humorist

"Brian Kinnaird (AKA Doc Forceology) has given us a powerful insight into the true 'Parallel Universe' that exists in our cultural relationship between cops and superheroes, myth and mortality, magic and mundane." --Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author & trainer

"It's easy to dismiss heroes because it's a lot harder to be one. Brian Kinnaird's wonderful book explores the relationship between our fascination with superheroes and the real ones who patrol the streets." --Alexis Artwohl, Ph.D., police psychologist

"Parallel Universe will make you laugh heartily, think deeply, and just maybe, see a glimpse of that cape on your back when you suit up for another night on the streets." ---Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, police writer & trainer

"Parallel Universe brings into clarity the heroic impulse that informs all of us who see ourselves as protectors of the weak and innoncent, from childhood on." --George Thompson, Ph.D., Verbal Judo Institute
