What gives you that impression?*** The wolf actually. How could any living thing(other than insects perhaps)survive on land? •• Several ways. As you shall see. And none of them are supernatural! +++ Maybe I'm thinking too much of Stephen King's Stand or Robert R. McCammons Swan Song,both novels apocalyptic with a touch of supernatural. I would'nt be surprised to see you throw a curve here and there. :) •• After doing a sci-fi setup, a segue into the supernatural would indeed be throwing a curve! That was one of the things that wrecked "The Stand" for me, as a matter of fact.

Several ways. As you shall see. And none of them are supernatural! ********** I can make a guess, as the world wasn't 100% burned by that solar "upchuck". I doubt that even the oceans were completely boiled away, but what remained just cascaded to fill in whatever evaporated in the firestorm (which makes me wonder how safe the crew on that submarine really were). So anyone who found a nice deep hole to hide in, or who were able to move into one of the zones out of range of the firestorm's full force, or who just happened to live in the "safe" zone will be okay. "Okay" being a relative term, still. The question will remain finding ways to rebuild with everything changed virtually overnight. Looking forward, again!

The worldwide cast has such a great variety that there is something for
everyone. I am moving my girlfriend into what will be our shared
townhouse when I get here full-time next month. I am kicking myself
that I didn't grab this book for a retread this weekend. It will have to wait
until Sunday night.

Death means something here. After reading this issue, that's what really hit me. Sure, it should always mean something, but here the stakes are much higher.

My subscriptions come at the end of the month, so I can't help but feel all those of you that have enjoyed it and are talking about it, are doing so just to hurt me.

Damn, Joe - hadn't thought of it like that but that's a pretty succinct way of putting it. Nice one!

And, of course, the use of the name "Boyd" -- as a first name (Boyd Ellis) in D+1, and as a last name (Greg Boyd) in D.1. Little things that would slip right by anyone unfamiliar with my earliest work.
