2020
After Pandemics, Warming, and Political Chaos
- Climate change rages…Pandemics come and go…Oligarchs rule. A world made “great” by ignorance is in trouble.
- Fenced off and fenced in at a retirement community. Play a little golf, have some booze, and watch for wild dogs while flipping meat substitute on the grill. Can gates, razor wire, contact tracing, and drone security save them from extinction?
- An AI flown hybrid airliner heading to Orlando crash lands on a golf course. Although isolated, Latin Villages residents golf, socialize, and shop at malls. They survive on protein grown in vertical farms, micro-filtered hydration drinks, and alcohol. After the crash we’re treated to a microcosm of Earth on the brink.
- “We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks.”—George Carlin.
Rose Buckles, murdered near the Wyoming-Utah line in 1939, isn't quite buried.
Decades later, men from an FDR CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp cling to strands of hair.
“Impressively written with all the flair and style of a suspense thriller novel, and with more plot twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster, "The Girl With 39 Graves" showcases author Michael Beres' genuine flair for originality, attention to detail, and an engagingly distinctive narrative storytelling style. While unreservedly recommended for community library collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "The Girl With 39 Graves" is also available in digital book-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Midwest Book Review
