The books that have caused this are "The Breaking of the Seals" by Ashlon and "Death of a World" . The former is a novel that should be read twi ce to be really enjoyed. This isn't th e book for those that like Planet's type of story becau se the book starts out rather slowly and isn't full of action, blood and th under. The idea isn't very original but the style of writing is wonderful and makes this story a classic. "Death of a World" is a different world end story. It is in diary form an d tells of the last days of earth during World War 3. This is a th riller and shou ld be read at one sitting. Let's make it Washington for the 1950 convention. What say?
