I just read "48 Hours". I read the forward a few days ago and had to stand off and decompress for a while... though the "XXX After" series is science-fiction, the events described by the author are factual and realistic... as is the set of events in "48 Hours" and left me wanting closeness and companionship with my family... more than usual.
The end of the world, destruction of civilization/humanity is difficult to grasp in all its violence and finality. There are two types events that "we" are almost defenseless against and they are well described in Forstchen's works. He truly understands the events and likely human reactions. We are vulnerable and the "leadership" of the world is unfalteringly destitute in its response to the possibilities of occurrence and possible outcomes. The United States has failed miserably in its recognition and addressment of these types of events. Therefore, it is left to individuals...

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

Well I finished this one....so I didn't know what to read next.... So I picked up The Greek Way and was reading here and there...but it's a little HEAVY for me right at the moment.... So I grabbed Typhoon and started reading it and it was a little TOO HEAVY for my mood....I wanted something Lighter! So I grabbed my ninety year old copy of Three-Wheeling Through Africa and it's just what I want to read....just a couple of guys who drove a motorcycle thru Africa in the 1930s.... |

I understand that she wrote a 5 volume series about World War I. I will have to get them. They are supposed to be the BEST she's ever done.
RIP Anne Perry

Three-Wheeling Through Africa is a lot of fun. I bought this book at a library sale in Kansas 25 years ago for 25 cents. It was in my AFRICANA COLLECTION....I had 99 books on Africa.... ....but then I got divorced and I lost 90% of my personal possessions....and 99% of Our Library... A couple of boxes of my books survived...(Meghan saved them) and this was one of them... |
