A chance friendship forged in a dying world...the mystery of her family's origins compels an old woman to hunt down a rumored time portal...a fable from our own future set hundreds of years after climate disaster. These and other short stories comprise this collection by the popular post-apocalyptic novelist Lou Cadle.
This book include tie-in stories to the Gray, Oil Apocalypse, and Dawn of Mammal series.
Lou Cadle grew up in Tornado Alley near the New Madrid fault, was in San Francisco's 1989 earthquake, watched minor eruptions of Mt. St. Helens from close up, and hiked several times over Kilauea's active lava flows. Cadle currently lives in haboob country.
After reading the Dawn of Mammals series (5 books). Mr Cadle left the characters in limbo. I thought he might put a ending to it with the first story (Mauve) but no such luck. The second story (Jason) was maybe 3 stars. The others I skimmed over. Probably won't read this author again.
