Book Reviews of Beyond Armageddon
Book Review: A few good stories and the rest bad
Summary: 2 Stars
This books has 21 stories and I enjoyed a few especially Heirs Apparent. Heirs Apparent is an American living in Russia after the world ends rebuilding his life with Russians. The American is their leader doing a good job until a former Russian bureaucrat shows up and takes over saying he is in charge. The bureaucrat replaced the American as leader of their little group because the Russian people had been conditioned to obey and not stand up. The bureaucrat blamed America for all the world's woes. The American argued it is no longer politics but a deeper older divide between nomadic versus agricultural. Nomadic groups destroy the wheat crops etc. of the agriculturally societies of which the American is part of. The bureaucrat disagreed and bickered over capitalistic versus communism issues in motivating people or running their society. The little agricultural society paid the price for wimping out and following the Russian bureaucrat.
The rest of the stories were not very good. Terminal Beach was really bad-completely convoluted. Think tying a dead Japanese man to a chair to guard blocks.
