Margot, a thin & pale girl, used to live in Ohio (Earth) until she was five hence she still remembers the details and misses the sun badly. But this is true for all the children except Margot, who’s resented by all the children. In other words, they literally don’t remember anything about it. The sun had been out before once when the kids were just two years old so they don’t remember anything except a warmth like a blush on the face and something similar to a study lamp’s light. ![]() ![]() You can imagine how overwhelmed and excited the kids must be feeling. And now the scientists of Venus have predicted that the sun will come out for a short period of time on that particular day, after that it’s 7 more years of continuous rain. ![]() It has been raining continuously 7 years in Venus. The children, mostly around 9 years old, are waiting eagerly for a special occasion for the sun to come out. In ‘All summer in a day’ by Ray Bradbury, a group of school children live on planet Venus with their families, or in the author’s words, a group of rocket men and women who has gone to Venus to set up civilization. ![]() ![]() My only regret about this huge book is that so much of it will pass out of my memory in short order. Even in a narrative which is so wide ranging and all encompassing, only one subject dominates-the towering personage of Peter. And in the end this is definitely not a book dominated by battles. The writing is of such a high caliber, however, that even those who are bored by military history will likely find enough colorful detail, along with glimpses of a plethora of intriguing characters of all stripes, to maintain interest. There is a good deal of military and campaign narrative in the book for which it is helpful to have some maps close at hand. Some of this history was fairly new to me, and following the peripatetic and much larger than life Peter through his extraordinary life was a great way to get to know it. I found it most convenient to listen in fairly small bites over a long period of time and enjoyed the book extremely. ![]() ![]() The result is a sweeping appraisal of the age in Russia and its European and Ottoman environs, filled with evocative detail which brings it all to life. Massie includes extensive character studies of every major figure on the European scene during Peter's rule, with major digressions into the social and political landscape in which they operated. This is much more than a detailed biography of a fascinating man. ![]() ![]() With temperatures rising everywhere she turns, Del Sol's normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger.
