Synopsis

Slog is an imaginative, evocative, and action-packed science fiction story that takes place on post-cataclysmic Earth after it is radically altered by increased solar activity. Suffering major climactic changes, and a population decimated by tropical diseases, war and famine, the U.S.A. no longer exists as an organized entity and is soon to be colonized by Quebec. There is also the possibility it may be destroyed completely in the struggle for sovereignty. In the lush swamps of New Jersey, the desert communes of South Dakota, the balmy tropics of Quebec, and the new settlements in blooming Antarctica, the ambitions and passions of the surviving humans remain familiar. Their struggle to live on Earth, however great, is never so dangerous or rewarding as their struggle to live with one another.

About this title

About the Author

Richard is a self-employed, single denizen of the Garden State. He likes horses for riding, not for betting or eating. He writes short stories and novels. His short stories can be found in odd corners of the Internet and in even odder print magazines. Do not buy a used car from this man. Instead, buy his book.

Reviews

In a hot, future world decimated by tropical diseases and biological weapons (over seven billion people died in a matter of years), George Custer is the "landlord and proprietary Governor" of what used to be northern New Jersey. Life rolls along about as well as can be expected, until his double-crossing lover gets him involved in a struggle between what remains of the French and American populations; after that, there's no going back home in Richard Bellush Jr.'s oddball, pop-culture saturated Slog.
