Willy Lovi willy_lovi — My Japanese/French friend Yukie is visiting tomorrow from her new home town of Nantes. By association of ideas, that reminded me first of Jules Verne, Nantes's most famous son, and then of this bizarre sequel to From the Earth to the Moon. Everyone knows the story of the first book: the manic Gun Club build a giant cannon which projects a steam-punk spaceship into an orbit that takes it round the Moon and back home again. This one is rather more obscure, though when I was reading my way through Verne as a nine year old it was a favourite. The Gun Club have dazzled the world with their lunar exploit, but now they need something even bigger to keep people's attention. As you see in Apollo 13, this prediction was spot-on: the fickle public quickly got bored with space flight, and only woke up when it looked like a mission was about to go horribly wrong. Luckily for all of us, NASA didn't come up with anything as crazy as what happens here. Newton's Third Law, muse the amiable gun lunatics: equal and opposite reaction. You normally think of a gun as something used to throw a projectile. But the momentum imparted by the recoil is exactly as large. Suppose you had a really big gun. Maybe that recoil would be enough to change the axis of rotation of the Earth? And once they've got hold of the idea that this could be technically feasible, they immediately come up with a reason for doing it. You could flip the Earth's axis so that it was no longer at an inclination to the orbital plane. Then, hey, not only would you get rid of those pesky seasons, but you'd also move the North Pole to a place where you might be able to mine its mineral deposits! Must be a win. When can we get started? At age 9, I read the novel straight: the Gun Club are lovable rogues, possibly a little too impetuous for their own good, but basically on the side of the angels. The horrified citizens who try to stop them from carrying out this insane scheme are kind of boring. Okay, I suppose it's dangerous, but you never get anywhere without taking a few risks. Don't they see how damn cool is? I should re-read the book and find out whether it was actually a satire. It ought to be. But, given how much Verne loved technology in all its forms, I wouldn't bet on it.

Ql Lian _ian — Follow Willy on his journey to overcome a childhood tragedy; a tragedy that has left him traumatized and haunted. Haunted, not only by his memories of the event, but also by a black dragon that might not be all in his imagination. Watch as he grows up but can't shake the hauntings or the screwed up memories. As a young man fresh out of high school, now Liam to his friends and family, he needs to find answers to that terrible night. The author does a masterful job of getting the reader to flow with the story; the reader becomes one with the characters. He doesn't drown the reader with too many characters or places; each piece to the puzzle is memorable. He adds just enough twists to the road to keep the reader hooked till the end. Mr. Gustafson, has a way with throwing a good scare your way, leaving you with an increased heart rate and a "what the" on your lips. On my list of recommended reads. Overall, this book rocked.
