Publisher's Summary:
It happened just yesterday or perhaps it happened the day before.
The bombs were dropped.
No one knew why. Maybe a political study was taken into careful consideration. Perhaps a research grant had been involved. A new plan to invigorate the stock market. Whatever the reason, due diligence was undoubtedly done and all aspects were carefully considered. Certainly the motion was passed around the Senate a time or two. After all, an election was coming.
And then they went ahead and did it.
Every vestige of civilization was blown away, save for a few stubborn traces barnacled along the grim fringes of existence.
Like say, maybe the Maritimes....

Members Reviews:
An okay story
This is a short story set in a post-apocalyptic world that focuses entirely on an older couple who are seeking safety (?), refuge (?) from the dangerous world that is now their reality. I felt as though I was given a look into a few hours in this couple's life.
I think the author's choice to keep this short was a good one, at least for me. Had the story been any longer I would have become bored with it. There were some problems with the editing that should have been caught before publishing, but otherwise, this was an okay story.
Following the story that titles the book are several more of varying length, but mostly only a page or two each. I'm not really sure what their purpose is for being included in this book unless it's to expose the reader to other work by this author.
The final inclusion in this book is a preview look at another story by Vernon, this one for a full-length novel. As I already have the full-length novel that is previewed in this book, I chose not to read that one.

Needs more
This is a story about a couple in a boat. They are reflecting on past memories and waiting for whats to come. The story is short and leaves you wondering what their next journey is. I think the Sea Tales series might be better combined, this is the only one I have read and it states that it can be read as a stand alone.

Built for hanging on.
Mr. Vernons Sea Tales are my favorite stories of his, but this one just didn't have the impact on me that all the others have. Still, I would recommend this story and just about everything else this man writes.
