Slog

By Richard Bellush Jr.

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.

Customer Reviews

Slog is ...............................

Mr Bellush certainly has a gift to lure you into " his world " and then make sure you don't leave !!!!I would recomend setting aside plenty of time when you start to read this work. The writers method of combining multiple characters and lines certainly will not allow you to put the book away until you have finished.Wonderful work .... and I very much look forward to more of his work.

Slog

I especially enjoyed the complex interplay of the many vivid characters and the scenes and conflict the author set them in. In addition to being a great story, Slog affected me in a sensory way, i.e., the characters were so well developed and the scenery so intense, that I could almost see and smell them. I found the scene where the main characters are escaping in a paisley-painted balloon with the stowaboard babies hysterically funny.

A very highly recommended saga of the human struggle

Richard Bellush's superbly written science fiction novel Slog is set in the context of a post-cataclysmic Earth where increased solar activity has changed the face of planet, made Antarctica a lush and fertile place, sparked wars, spread hideous diseases and famines, and dramatically endangered the survival of the human race. America no longer exists as a cohesive nation, and soon Quebec will colonize its once-sovereign lands. A welcome addition to any personal or community library science fiction collection, Slog is a gripping and very highly recommended saga of the human struggle to endure the mounting tides of planetary change.

The perfect birthday book

Richard Bellush, Jr. writes sci-fi for adults with quick minds and sharp wits. Social and political humor abound in the frighteningly-real tale of a modern everyman forced into saving a plausible, post-apocalyptic world for its own good - and you will cheer him every step of the way. Not for the little kids, but anyone who reads the news and chuckles to him/herself will feel right at home with Slog.
