ABOUT THE BOOK
A nuke, thankfully abortive, or a line of them hidden, to blow up
Panama. To save the world from an Ice Age, when Global Warming
stops the Gulf Stream. Who does such things?
What if suicide bombings are not about hate after all? Not about
ideology, nor any particular religion? Not even about despair at
society’s bottom? What if the bombers are better enough off to
emerge from the other side of despair, expressing an idealism that
forgets to be human? Is this what motivates Shandra Stuart and her
motley group?
It isn’t the politics the media reports—the U. S. taking back the
Panama Canal. Nor social and economic history that leads to the
convergence of politics and Shandra’s group on the Panamanian
Isthmus.
A funny thing happens with publishing lead times. Real estate market
collapse. Bank failures. Mass foreclosures. All fiction when this tale
was written, and when PS Publishing bought it. Let’s hope that the
other elements of why Shandra grows up in a displaced persons’
colony—Camp Desolation—remain fiction. Such as the opening
event, the bank foreclosing on Shandra’s mother Agnes, even though
she did keep up her mortgage payments. . .
Camp Desolation And An Eschatology of Salt is a tale of why people
do what they do, and the world in which they do it. Or is it? The
story does shine a light on motivations and conditions too often
obscured by conventional media hype. But what might that revealing
light quietly, calculatingly, leave in shadow?
