Book Description
Advances in science and technology have provided mere mortals with God-like powers. Satellites have given us the vision of eagles. High-speed computers have provided planners insights into future events through data analysis and simulation. Ancient civilizations made sacrifices to Gods that had less perceived power than the average American now takes for granted. What would be the outcome if an average American, well schooled in the use of modern tools, used them in the pursuit of a criminal objective? Could the "Law of Unintended Consequences" be repealed by the rigorous application of logic and system design? Is the "Perfect Crime" within the grasp of your typical neighbor who desires economic freedom? Would governmental agencies be the motivation behind the quest, defenders of the "status quo" or victims of the results? These questions and additional issues are explored with drama, suspense, and humor throughout the pages of Yellow Snow.

Sky Over El Nido

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
“Mother rescued the three zebras that escaped from the London zoo”--so begins the first story in this whirlwind collection by C. M. Mayo. Though Mayo’s characters ricochet around the globe in search of diversion, money, enlightenment, cachet, and escape, she sets many of the stories in Sky Over El Nido in Mexico. This is not the gringo’s Mexico of margaritas, mariachis, and inscrutable house servants, but a fin-de-siècle world where a Mexican boy who guards tourists’ cars for small change wears a T-shirt that says “Six Flags Over Georgia.” Mayo’s strangely beautiful yet disturbing stories reveal characters who envision the solutions to their lives in a world where nothing is stable, nothing can be nailed down, and we are all suddenly, dizzyingly faced with sharing the same pitiless sky.
