"From Above" is a short story by Jeremy Robinson.  I'm a big fan of Robinson's and with the completion of this one, I've only got one more book to read and I'll have read everything Robinson has put out.  Fortunately, he's got two more that are expected to be out before the end of the year...Anyway, From Above is a short story about an advanced weapon that is fired from somewhere in the atmosphere at the Earth leaving in its wake nothing but a huge empty hole.....the size of a city.  Our protagonist is a somewhat cocky and humorous detective who, with his partner and a tag along computer wiz, go to investigate what it is that is making Earth into Swiss cheese.The whole story is told somewhat tongue and cheek and there are some funny lines here and there.  Overall though, the story is just too short to get anything more than a three star rating.  You can literally read the whole "book" in a half hour or forty five minutes.Not a bad idea for a story, but just too short for me.
