This work is the result of a vivid imagination. What you are about
to read is a rarity; A brand new theme in a brand new setting. The
style is futuristic fiction that could very possibly be a glimpse
into our own future. There are no other parallels between this work
and any other. The ideas for this work came to me in the middle of
the night in the form of dreams. What you are about to indulge in
is the equivalent of fine Swiss chocolate or pheasant under glass,
but for the mind. It is a journey that cannot be described. You
just have to experience it. The setting is in the year 2037. Chalk
Weeland and a Cajun freshwater shellfish farmer has to make a
choice. Should he stay in a land that is drying up due to
increasing temperatures and decreasing opportunities or should he
make a move to Antarctica where new minerals have been discovered
and work is plentiful and the rewards are bountiful? Chalk and his
family will journey through basic colonization and the building of
a school, raising their children and getting involved in their
community and in their Church. There are struggles along the way
that include dealing with a sickness that threatens to take the
lives of some of the key characters and to destroy everything that
has been worked so hard for. There are subplots that include the
building of a football team to help the colonist feel more at home
on this block of ice and a passionate, but innocent young love
between two teenagers from rival communities. You will get a
glimpse of new technology and the invention of some very
interesting devices that may be available to us in the not so
distant future. The Weeland Family, along with their neighbors live
in domed, comfort-controlled homes and take public transportation
everywhere they go. You will need to take this food for the soul
one slice at a time due to the rich savory subplots and the mind
nourishing content. Enjoy
