Whether there are others in the universe who value our world more than we do is a question far too fantastical for a reasonable person to ever consider. Nobody has noticed the organic debris arriving from the depth of space and forming an broad, invisible halo about the earth. In a single night, a storm of incandescent green meteors light the sky and plummet intact to the earth. Before we can begin to hypothesize what may be happening, human nature is turned upon itself and our reign upon the earth ends. It would seem that extinction is the goal of forces unseen, but it s that, and more far more fantastical than a reasonable person would ever consider.
Horror novels explore the dark side of human existence.
Fortunately for Bob, after having spent 30 years with J.I. Case, his retirement income is up to the burden of supporting his computer and internet needs and the nuke plant continues to provide his electricity quite well without him, albeit less securely. Life got rolling for Bob after the Army a long, long time ago. A dozen motorcycles later, never having killed himself even once, Bob continues a legacy that began in childhood, a addiction to telling lies for fun and profit. Bob has an unusual perspective on life after having enjoyed a series of truly amazing UFO encounters during the '60s, although that's generally considered a lie and Bob really should keep his mouth shut about it. Bob didn't have as much time as he would have liked to devote to the vital politics of publishing, but he always wrote rather obsessively.
