The author of six books about military history and religion, historian Bryan J. Dickerson ventures into the world of fiction with a collection of eleven short stories ranging in topic from espionage to college life relationships. The satirical "The Solar Powered Navy?" examines the consequences of environmental policy formulated without regard for common sense. In "The Legend of Chug Dolan," a group of college friends gather for an annual post-graduation reunion and speculate about the whereabouts of the legendary Chug Dolan. In "Nadia," a foreign student studying in the United States gets involved in a most unlikely romance with a young woman who is way out of his league. In "Home to Glenallen," a young man returns home ten years after leaving his high school love behind. In "When You're Ready," a college student can no longer help his best friend pick up the pieces following another terrible relationship decision. "The Vertigo Project" is a comical look at espionage. During a fierce street battle in Ramadi, Iraq, a Navy corpsman gets unexpected help from someone he thinks is a Navy SEAL in "Ar Ramadi, November 2004." Public corruption is the theme of "On a Superintendent's Salary," in which a school superintendent runs afoul of the law for his extravagant lifestyle. "In Ruins" focuses on a young professional who is suddenly dumped, so naturally he tries to deal with it by hiding out in a beach house...in the middle of a hurricane. A real estate agent gets an unexpected visit from a mysterious stranger who has a bizarre request in "The Visitor." Never published before, these short stories represent over twenty years of the author's periodic experiments with writing fiction.
