Chapter 16

May 28, 1965: The evils of the gentile world

Reasons were never given to justify any mission call, but Arden Montgomery had a pretty good idea why he was sent to Los Angeles. He figured it was because he loved the same music that had drawn so many rootless kids to the same place. LDS leadership hated that music, of course, the way they despised all the ills and evils of the gentile world. But the Twelve Apostles were shrewd enough to sense an opportunity. With his known passion for Dylan, the Beatles and the rest of that godless music, Arden seemed like the ideal missionary to convert searching young people who loved the same music to the church.

World of Hurt Chapter 14

by Richard J Pietschmann

You really need to read this....

Mount Charleston: January 28, 1951

What Lieutenant Colonel Tibbetts did not say, and what almost no one knew at the time, was that in mid-1943 Wendover had been designated Site K of the Manhattan Project and code-named “Kingman.” It was located in the largest bombing and gunnery range in the country, bigger even than the huge one north of Las Vegas. “Silverplate” B-29s modified for use as atomic bombers would be based there and the crews that flew them trained there. The 509^th was created entirely for atomic warfare.

Only when he had counted again to five did he cautiously peek through the black lenses at the surging fireball rising over Frenchman Flat. The roiling atomic furnace faded gradually to a fierce rosy glow that pulsed with energy. A sharp cracking rumble hurt his ears and echoed in the valley below. The shock wave hit then, spanking the ground with a rough shove, followed by an almost equally violent second shock. The fireball transformed again into the brilliant blue-purple luminescence of a burning sun. A strong gust of wind whistled, nearly snatching the tarp from him, breaking free tree branches and raining down pine cones. A murky mushroom head shot through with crackling fire supported atop a thin column like a nuclear tornado raced past his eye level and sped for the heavens.

Chapter 13

Here's a teaser that will make you hunger for more

VEGAS A-BOMB POPS

Oren wasn’t the only one who understood that nothing nuclear had popped at all—it was the thunderclap detonation of an ordinary high-explosive bomb dropped in a dry-run simulation of the real thing.  

A sudden breeze puffed out of windless air and riffled the hair poking out underneath Oren’s cattleman hat. That activated the primitive center of his brain, the part devoted entirely to survival. An involuntary warning shiver instantly flashed down his spine and prepared Oren to flee or fight. But then the slower pair of evolved brains wrapped around the ancient core intervened, using reason and experience to tell Oren that he had nothing to fear from the event he had experienced. The breeze was from the flight of a ruthless hunter uninterested in him gliding soundlessly within inches of his head. It would have been the only warning any prey could hope to detect before the great horned owl ripped it apart.

Only then did Oren exhale, the visible breath surprising him with the knowledge that he had stopped breathing.
