Hay días en que sólo el viento sopla y la pampa es como un mar de sal que arde en llamas y por los caminitos van los sabaneros siguiendo las reses y en las casas están sus mujeres gordas de brazos oscuros que amamantan sus críos llorones, como si adivinaran, en esas llanuras, que de la soledad a la que han nacido condenados sólo hay una manera de salir. El sol alfiletea los ojos y las pieles son rojas y los labios partidos, y hay gente que dice que los cholos en esta tierra son más hijos de África que de Niyatl, porque hubo un tiempo en que los hombres fueron embarcados a la fuerza por otros de tez más clara para una guerra contra un príncipe que se sentaba en un trono de oro macizo, y los que vinieron en su lugar eran hombres de cabellos apretados y voces duras de hierro, que cantaban a la noche con un dulce quejido. Pero esa historia es vieja y ya casi no se recuerda más que en la brisa fresca de las tardes de fin de año, cuando se habla de cómo antes, con el sol moribundo del equinoccio septentrional que se vive en estas latitudes, se daba lugar a temores más básicos y los nativos corrían a los lupanares y a las iglesias porq...

Chapter 5 - - THE JUMP Harris stood waiting in the small switch room, waiting for what he did not know. Raftos was standing next to Harris, Mick was sitting on the floor in the corner watching the large panel on the main part of the wall. A small tinny sounding intercom speaker suddenly came to life and a voice came over cool and quite calm. " Command base control to Light Star, all personnel clear of the ground hanger, you may proceed to launch at your own time." Raftos leaned forward and pushed a switch near the intercom. " Light Star to base control." said Raftos. " All systems are steady, we are ready to make jump." Raftos let go of the switch. The speaker sounded for one last time. " Base control, good luck."...

Chapter 4 - - LIGHT STAR The shuttle circled the first moon of Morstan and headed toward Petra the furthest and smallest of the Morstan moons. As the dark side crescent of the third moon looped beneath the nose of the shuttle, the small barren moon of Petra appeared in view. It was a dark and uninviting place with no life except the very secret base where the Light Star project laboratories and assembly hangers were. The shuttle lurched as it gave a short burn to reach the high outer orbit of the moon. The planet below shrank rapidly smaller as the darkness of space enveloped the shuttle....

No es el viento Tu cuerpo se hiela un momento Debe de haber sido el viento Volteas a ver todo tu trabajo Mil palabras, vieja pluma abajo Ves que el viento la mueve un poco Entonces tratas de prender el foco Pero la luz no parece servir Y decides mejor ir a dormir Pero notas mientras la ves La pluma se mueve otra vez Ahora ves la ventana cerrada No es el viento que hace nada Te acercas juntando tu valor Y notas la tinta roja de color Tu pluma, sola, acaba de escribir "Sólo es el viento, vete a dormir"...

Description Details
A revolution replaces the Queensland government with a coalition of religious fundamentalists who have strong ideas on how their subjects ought to live, and how to enforce compliance with their draconian laws. Readers have asked what happened to Robert and Bart, the heroes of Rough Justice. They thought I had left them in a bad place…and so I had. Others wanted to know what happened to Sebastian and Jarek between the end of Jarek and the beginning of NumbaCruncha. A good question that requires an answer because what happened could all too easily be the political future for us. So, Fidel is a prequel to NumbaCruncha, and a sequel to my other five novels—Rough Justice, Dome of Death, Sebastian, Jarek and Mortaumal. Fidel is fifteen when the story begins sometime in the near future. He’s running away from home to the big city where he falls into trouble, then miraculously falls out again, and grows into a sturdy, well-liked young man. Like most people he is too busy living to notice that a relatively quiet revolution is taking place, replacing the government with a coalition of religious fundamentalists who have strong id...

1 Fidel Fidel was scared. Shit scared. He felt like throwing up and probably would have if he'd had any breakfast. He had to stop thinking about it or he’d chicken out. His whole life had been one long worry that he’d done something wrong and would be punished…but this was sharper, more urgent, more exciting too if he could only stop thinking about all the possible consequences. Taking a deep breath he shouldered the backpack that had been hidden in a corner for weeks, let himself out of the shed, crossed the back lawn and tapped on his brother’s open window. Hylas appeared, rubbing at sleepy eyes. ‘Fidel! What’s the matter?’ ‘I’m off.’ ‘Now? But you…’ ‘Shhh! You'll wake Mum. I just wanted to say goodbye and tell you I love you.’ ‘Where are you going? I love you too! Will you write?’ ‘Brisbane. Of course I’ll write. Don’t tell Mum anything. Pretend to be surprised I've gone.’ With a cheery wave that even Hylas knew was fake, Fidel adjusted his pack and ran off before his courage ran out. Twenty minutes later he was sticking out his thumb on the David Low Way. Almost immediately an elderly couple in a battered T...

Two bank employees, one married male and the other unmarried female happened to mark affinity for self in the other. This unmarried person was the boss of the other one. In view of the mutual affinity, this boss visited the other’s residence for delivering in person the `invite` on the occasion of her marriage with an NRI doctor. In a couple of years, the marriage of both these persons reached the stage of irretrievable breakdown, as both were feeling suffocated with the behaviour and attitude of their spouses. By the by, they happen to divulge to each other the emotional injuries suffered at the hands of their respective callous spouses. However, they happen to be neighbours by virtue of the flat allotted to them by their bank under the self-financing scheme for its employees envisaged to reach them a surprise bonanza in a unique `no profit, no loss` basis. The events at the inlaws family in the case of both of them brought them physically closer, with the blessings of their parents. Thus, they happen to be `a circumstantially evolved couple`. ...

“It appears to me that almost every religion tends to circumscribe the reasoning potentials of its followers. The self-styled custodian of the religious beliefs would not take it upon himself as a duty to seek the explanations of the `deviating folk`, unless an explosive situation emerges,” Nidhi expresses her opinion in the presence of the lone listener … She says, “Even at this moment, some kuchcha structure is visible. A notice board is also clearly visible from here. I think, let’s move towards that hut, to check, if that hermit is still using that hutment even after a period of fifty five years has gone by.” He looks undecided, but his wife almost drags him towards that sign-board. It reads the same contents. The door seems to have been bolted from inside. They move away awfully, lest they disturb the hermit’s peace. …. Nidhi often happens to recall her days when she had once heard from Anirudh that Smriti’s father is a doctor in a government dispensary and has been living an ostentatious type of life. It had resulted in his daughter always complaining of the total absence of modern amenities for leading `a moderately c...
