All that Will Be Lost

My review -
This
is a short story with a very thought-provoking message. Michael, aware that the
war in the east is encroaching upon his life and his country, has bought a
house and created an enlarged basement where he holds a party for friends and
colleagues in the magazine he publishes. The war grows ever closer, while Michael
and his friends attempt to save what will be lost if the fighters prevail.
Steve
Roach has taken the premise that the desire to kill, to wipe out other ideologies,
is a disease. It has resulted in a darkly futuristic tale and sadly, feels all
too plausible. Let’s hope the spark of humanity is too strong to be quenched. A
really good, short read.
