description: After Thor Evensen gets fired, his small son dies while in his care. His career is downsized; his marriage ends. Rachel Risdahl and her daughter Glenda share Thor's new life as a salesman. Her abusive ex-boyfriend reappears; Thor and Glenda defend her.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Chuck Hastings has worked in high-tech engineering and marketing since 1956, on both coasts and in the midwest. He began writing full-length novels in 1989, and has completed three; TAIYAKU and SILICON JOCKEY will appear next, after FUBAR. Chuck is a long-time technologist and has published several dozen technical articles; but the major theme of his novels is not technology as such. Rather, he tries to show how fast-paced high-tech careers affect people's lives, and especially their love relationships. His narratives range from stark tragedy to black comedy. Chuck was born in upstate New York, and raised in Vermont, Puerto Rico, and New York City. He has degrees from Grinnell College, UCLA, and Santa Clara University. He's married, works mostly in California, listens to Brazilian and piano jazz, and lives in metro Seattle. He's raised six children; five work in high-tech.
