Chesapeake Station: Episode One

Autor Don Hussey
en Paperback – vârsta de la 13 până la 18 ani
Serenity is a medium size cruise ship of 74,540 tons, bound for the Caribbean out of Anchorage, Alaska. On board are 2605 passengers and crew. High-spirited high school students on a senior class trip from Tacoma, Washington, have arrived to join the cruise in Vancouver, British Columbia. Also on board is a nuclear device stored in the ship's safe. In the backdrop of this seemingly endless and senseless chaos, President Katherine H. Delgado, is presented with a series of unimaginable and catastrophic events. Events that go far beyond the battleground of armed conflict…far beyond reason or even comprehension. At stake is the very existence of Earth itself! * * * * * Episode One, Evil Never Sleeps, is intended to encourage young adults, and the public at large, to stay focused on the state of affairs in today's world. All must assume an active role in the ever growing political deeds and misdeeds of our day. This first in the Chesapeake Station series brings into remarkable focus the use and misuse of nuclear technology and the growing threat of a nuclear nightmare. The incidence of violence both domestically and throughout the world must be confronted and eliminated. None of it promotes a healthy respect for life and certainly does not allow young people to grow up without the fear of what might happen next. Episode One, Evil Never Sleeps, is an adventure - a fast-paced, frightening adventure of nuclear extortion, mayhem, political intrigue, and evil on a grand scale.

Notă biografică

I printed a copy of my resume to remind myself of where I've been over the many years since childhood. Following my "Ticket to Ride, the Promise of America," I was encouraged by many to write the sequel. In order to write a memoir, the author must relive it, then write about it. Well, I've done enough of that in my original "Ticket to Ride." I explained, "I would rather leave the sequel and the related episodes for another day. My years working on the waterfront in E. Boston and renovating buildings throughout the Greater Boston area were difficult years. I'll tackle the sequel later in life. So I responded to a Boston Grub Street writer's challenge. What emerged was this "Chesapeake Station". I remember reading about the science of space and space travel when I was in my early teens. Even today, when I look up at the star systems and galaxies on a cloudless night, my imagination takes me to far-away places, beyond the Milky Way. Going through my resume, I'm reminded of the wonderful fourteen years I spent teaching sixth grade students at the Cole School in Norwell, Massachusetts. I was to teach math and science, but that was not all I taught. I loved working with these young adults and I can say without hesitation, I made learning fun. Those were enriching years for me. I resigned my tenured position to go into business, and later run for public office, State Senate and U.S. Congress. I'm retired now and married to Brenda. We have two remarkable children and three (likewise remarkable) grandchildren. Writing is my new career. Publisher (Seawall Books, Inc.) and author, wwwdonhussey.com. I hope you enjoy my characters, and the ride into the future.
