Entropy: things fall apart. It is a rule of the universe. Except in Bradford Hilty's small corner of it where all sails are trimmed, all ropes neatly coiled. It is 2024, that fateful year of war, election politics, and cicadas. After his heroic success in Commodore Hilty's Second Act, Bradford, now 66, seems to have everything under control. But one by one the problems emerge, like the cicadas from the ground. Soon they are all around him, singing their fateful song. Family crises and professional dilemmas seem too much even for him. Not to mention that his best friend, the powerful Slate Greene, seems on the verge of a tragic irreversible mistake. Dare he take on such problems as these-so many, so agonizing? Readers who have followed this lovable, well-meaning contrarian through the other adventures in his life will know the answer: of course he dare See Hilty now at his indomitable best.
