Lines: 18 From: goun%vacant.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Heisenberg may have slept here) "End of the world" stories are probably my favorite SF sub-genre. Try _Down_to_a_Sunless_Sea_, by an author whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment (where's jayembee when you need him?). It's the story of the passengers and crew of a 747 jetliner trying to survive the outbreak of a nuclear war. I didn't actually break out in tears reading this book, but I sniffled a bit. -- Roger Goun ARPA: goun%cadlac.DEC@decwrl.ARPA UUCP: {allegra, decvax, ihnp4, ucbvax}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-cadlac!goun USPS: Digital Equipment Corp., APO-1/B4 100 Minuteman Road; Andover, MA 01810-1098 Tel: (617) 689-1675
