Some Original Characters
From the zine:
For those of you who are familiar with my stories from other 'zines, you might recognize a few of my characters from those sources. Therefore, I'm bringing "down" a few of my favorite people and touching here and there on little "situations" previously mentioned elsewhere. This will not affect the overall thrust of the novella, but just might bring a smile to your face. And, by-the-way, I started this Amtrak train in the summer of '90 during TunnelCon. Any news items or television events that took place afterwards were purely coincidental. Thank you.
Summaries
A great catastrophe envelopes the tunnel members, trapping them beneath the city streets, with no hope of rescue. How they come to terms with their last days together is touching and uplifting. [1]
A catastrophe Above causes destruction Below and isolates the underground community. Joe is brought Below by a helper and is surprised to find Cathy there and even more so when he finally meets Vincent. As everyone faces the fact that there may be no "tomorrow" for them, love blooms Below. Linda Mooney is an excellent writer and it shows in this unique story. The story line may be depressing for some readers, but Catherine and Vincent do embark on their Happy Life in a way not covered in other zines. [2]
Reactions and Reviews
The whole world Above is depopulated, apparently by a neutron bomb (reviewer's surmise), and the tunnel-dwellers try to cope with the aftermath. Good reading if you don't mind a few (and inconspicuous) plot holes. Reviewer considered PG-13 a more appropriate rating, given the mildness of the sex that goes on, but author says otherwise. [3]
