Billy Connolly, was born on this date in 1942. Here are some words of wisdom from him.
- Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on.
- Marriage is a wonderful invention: then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.
- There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.
- Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
- Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time and you'll have the time of your life.
- I don't know why I should have to learn Algebra... I'm never likely to go there.
- The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever being one.
- There's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes.
- Never trust people who've only got one book.
- When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?

Jack
Ward, President of Innovia, owes his life twice over to the enigmatic
superhero, dubbed Power Blaster by the press. No-one knows who Power
Blaster is or where he comes from - and he wants it to stay that way.
Scientist
Desi Troyes has developed a nuclear bomb to counter the ever present
threat of an asteroid hitting the planet. When Ward signs the order
giving the go ahead for a nuclear test on the remote Bird Island, he
has no inkling of Troyes' real agenda, and that he has signed the
death warrants of millions of people.
Although
the island should have been evacuated, there are people still there:
some from the distant continent of Classica; protesters opposed to
the bomb test; and Innovians who will not, or cannot, use their
communication devices.
Power
Blaster knows he must stop the bomb from hitting the island. He also
knows it may be the last thing he ever does.
Meanwhile
in Innovia, Ward and his staff gather to watch the broadcast of the
test. Nobody, not even Troyes himself, has any idea what is about to
happen.
Part One of The Raiders Trilogy.
