The four work together in an attempt to discover the reason for the unanticipated reappearance of the heavenly creatures. And why is a mysterious woman who seems intimate with key components of their investigation aids them. New dangers emerge from those who'll try to silence what they'll learn; and in the process of trying to look for answers, they further realize that not all angels are the same .

Описание: Elden Duane Rogers died on March 19, 1945, one of the eight hundred who perished on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin that day. It was his nineteenth birthday. Write home often, the navy told sailors like Elden, thinking it would keep up morale among sailors and those waiting for them stateside. But they were told not to write anything about where they were, where they had been, where they were going, what they were doing, or even what the weather was like. Spies were presumed everywhere, and loose lips could sink ships. Before a sailor's letter could be sealed and sent, a censor read it and with a razor blade cut out words that told too much.So Long for Now reconstructs the lost world of a sailor's daily life in World War II, piecing together letters from Elden's family in Vega, Texas, and from his girlfriend, the untold stories behind Elden's own letters, and the context of the war itself. Historian Jerry L. Rogers delves past censored letters limited to small talk and local gossip to conjure the danger, excitement, boredom, and sacrifices that sailors in the Pacific theater endured. He follows Elden from enlistment in the navy through every battle the USS Franklin saw. Flight deck crashes, kamikaze hits, and tensions and alliances aboard ship all built to the unprecedented chaos and casualties of the Japanese air attack on March 19. ""So long for now,"" Elden signed off - never ""Goodbye."" This moving work poignantly confronts the horrors of war, giving voice to a young sailor, the country he served, the family and friends he left behind, and the hope that has sustained them.

The year was 1977. Elon Musk was in First Grade. Jeff Bezos was in early puberty just reading SCIFI books, not selling them. The space shuttle was 4 years away and the last Apollo mission was 5 years past. Yet a wonky aerospace engineer and college professor was asking How Do We Get Back to Space and What Do We Do Once We Are Up There?
Here in That Buck Rogers Stuff Jerry Pournelle lays out his fascination with technological solutions for the world's 1978 problems and beyond.
Written on an IBM Selectric typewriter during an Analog time, these predictions will later be fully explored in classics like Starswarm which introduced Artificial Intelligence or The Mote in Gods Eye exploring the societal effects of a 1000 year library as a precursor for cloud computing.
