Joel's Leap: Excerpts from Joel Curran ‘s Post-Apocalypse Journal

By Richard Hamel

June 6, 1989 and nothing is going right for Joel Curran. Gone are his Las Vegas poker stake and his taste for the game. His girlfriend has left him for an activist job in Nicaragua. Nuclear hell has erupted because Mikhail Gorbachev can't get his mojo on. Luckily, there's always tomorrow, or rather yesterday.What if you could hit the reset button? Would you trip yourself up on the same mistakes - or would you take advantage of your special circumstances and learn, love, live. Perhaps you'd forgo getting laid long enough to spare the world from global thermal nuclear annihilation. It ain't an easy choice to make - especially for a fourteen-year-old.The 1980s were precarious times for mere mortals. Luckily, we have Joel Curran to thank for the new history lesson. Joel's Leap isn't just another post-apocalypse time travel love story. It offers a hard look at human values in the nuclear age. It's about hanging up one's hang-ups.
