Pulling Through
A gripping, realistic account of a "small" nuclear war and surviving its immediate aftermath, told in an optimistic, ironic, fact-filled yet non-pedantic way by a self-taught author and aerospace engineer, Pulling Through is novella-length, but interleaved within are references to useful, cheap and expedient survival skills and technology, which is documented in the appendicies.
Ing's wry style first saw light in the 1950s inAnalog, and the return of this unique wordsmith after he raised a family and acuired his doctorate in communications is very welcome.
