Produktinformationen zu „Strange Stories II / Roger W. Mannon (ePub)“
Most of the stories I write start as fragmented visions and ideas, birthed by a dream. As soon as I wake, the dreams begin to crumble and fall apart like clouds shredded by the wind What remains is little more than a seed, a small, fragile thing that might, with a little imagination, become a story. That's how the Strange Stories II collection came about.
Strange Stories II is a book of three stories, two of them about possible climate crisis scenarios. Both are rather long for a short story. If word count counts (and I'm not sure it does), they are almost, but not quite, long enough to for us to call them novellas.
The climate change tales are stories of how the world ends told by one person who lived through it all. Reading science articles about the climate crisis, the ways it might kill the world, sparked a dream that, in turn, became the seeds of a story. The scenarios examined here are remote possibilities and almost certainly will never happen. Still, the idea of very rapid global warming or an unknown virus emerging from a frozen sleep as the permafrost thaws were just too good to pass up.

Autoren-Porträt von Roger Mannon
Roger often says, "I'm just an 72-year-old man sitting in alone in the dark writing stories for you." He is, indeed, 72, and twice retired. His first retirement was from the U.S. Army and happened in 1991 after spending over 20 years as a member of the Army Security Agency. He traveled the globe listening to the communications of our enemies and stealing their secrets His second retirement was from another 20 year stint as a computer network engineer, a job he says was a complex and challenging profession but one far less exciting than his first career.
