Love that book. I need to find another copy to put back into my library.
Including that it either sinks Kalifornia or makes it into an island.

Thanks for the recommendations. I really enjoyed Alas Babylon, so I’m sure I’ll like the other two.

Thank you for the recommendations. I learned with Lucifer’s Hammer (which I loved) to listen to the audio-book while exercising AND get the print book for those spots on the CD which are scratched and the player won’t read. I get them from the library so no $$$ outlay.
My twenty-something nephew read Lucifer’s Hammer on my recommendation. Now I have more for him.
I now am in the middle of Alas Babylon. Appreciating it greatly and amazed at the history that I was too young to know then. It was written in 1959 and is so similar to 2018. The more things change…
