But making their way through the snow and ice, the International Hotel where they were staying, loomed large. But, THIS author, refreshingly, leaves behind all that has become common and cliched about our near-future. It’s the year 2051, and the subject of climate change has been ignored for so long, and now it’s too late, with catastrophic changes taking place across the world. Now, in “A Winter Grave,” he gives readers a glimpse into life in 2053 – the good and the bad, the different and the same.

But, the author, having completed his creation, then takes our hands, so we can run together through his raging hurricane of how’s, why’s, when’s and what’s, coming out exhausted but the better for it. No wild, insanely-laughing and hooting gangs of killers/looters/madmen roaming the ravaged streets, their sole purpose to snuff out the few remaining embers of humanity (I should think the definitive masterpiece, “A Clockwork Orange”, would have sewn all of that up for us, and under a glass-topped coffee table whose “legs” are a naked, plasticized woman)!
