Synopsis















Trauma 2020: Book 1

Beekay isn't exactly a hero.  But it's the year 2020 and, like fifteen million others, he's short of cash.  So Beekay sets out to do a bit of smuggling, with his Uncle Franklyn.

Nothing goes right for Beekay.  First the Pox dogs chew him up - then the army calls him up.

He doesn't fancy getting gassed in one of Europe's endless wars.  But that means evading Homer, a seven-foot albino psychopath sent after him by the military ...

Enter Tommy and Moose, who can offer Beekay a safe passage to America - provided that he kills a very important policeman first ...

Polar Stratospheric Clouds
Scientists recently discovered that polar stratospheric clouds, long known to play an important role in Antarctic ozone destruction, are occurring with increasing frequency in the Arctic. These high altitude clouds form only at very low temperatures help destroy ozone in two ways: They provide a surface which converts benign forms of chlorine into reactive, ozone-destroying forms, and they remove nitrogen compounds that moderate the destructive impact of chlorine. In recent years, the atmosphere above the Arctic has been colder than usual, and polar stratospheric clouds have lasted into the spring. As a result, ozone levels have been decreasing.

This photograph shows polar stratospheric clouds lit from below near Kiruna, Sweden.
