    About this ebook

    The bombs drop on San Diego. Jack tries to get all of his friends to leave the surf, to leave the beach, and escape to somewhere. Anywhere. They pay no attention to him.

    He leaves his surfboard and runs toward a water drain pipe dug into the side of the hill adjacent to Windansea Beach. At the entrance, he collides with Stasia, a beautiful girl he has worshiped from afar.

    The Story begins.

It was another hot day, whether from seasonal Santa Ana winds off the deserts, climate change from the new industrial revolution or the revolutionary dismantling of civilization. No one could tell.

      Besides, that conversation had stopped long ago. People just lived with weird weather.

      Several of the other surfers in the line up just laughed at the electronics and started to paddle for a wave that was rolling in from the southwest.
