Today, I've chosen ten quotes about the month of December for you to enjoy.
- December, the diamond frosted clasp linking twelve jewelled months to yet another year. Phyllis Nicholson
- God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. James M. Barrie
- December's wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer's memory...” John Geddes
- It is December, and nobody asked if I was ready. Sarah Kay
- I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. We are nearer to Spring than we were in September. Oliver Herford
- The crisp path through the field in this December snow, in the deep dark, where we trod the buried grass like ghosts on dry toast. Dylan Thomas
- Chill December brings the sleet, Blazing fire, and Christmas treat. Sara Coleridge
- When dark December glooms the day, and takes our autumn joys away. Walter Scott
- In cold December fragrant chaplets blow, And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow. Alexander Pope
- Of all the months of the year there is not a month one-half so welcome to the young, or so full of happy associations, as the last month of the year. Charles Dickens
New!
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.
