Buried
I was taking a break from some Saturday chores to call our car dealership to check on the status of some car repairs. I spent quite a lot on Monday in both time and money only to notice on the drive home that the tire pressure light was on. I checked the pressures and they were fine, so I called and set up an appointment for today. While on hold I was scanning the news on Yahoo and noticed an article about the U.N. releasing a report about how bad folks have it in the United States. You can read the full article here.
was one of the first dealing with the aftermath of a nuclear war. I wasn’t born yet, but I do remember growing up during the Cold War. Mutually Assured Destruction was a hell of a thing to live with. Author Pat Frank showed us how a small Florida community dealt with the aftermath of a world nuclear war. This novel didn’t get into too much of the what/how of the actual bombs, just how this community worked to survive and hoped for the best, but were realists.
at Sams Club I treated myself to the hardback. The story had all of the main characters found in the Hawke series and even a famous Russian leader who is obviously bat-shit crazy. You can probably guess his name. The premise of the book with an assassination attempt, kidnapping, and general mayhem. Hawke, of course, is in the middle of things.
the crew’s job is to bore wormholes between different planets creating a shortcut between different worlds. A new crew member with deep secrets has to work to fit in to the new crew and to get used to the dangerous work that they all do.
