In Fallout American cities have been suffering increased domestic terrorism. Harry Longmeadow tries to ensure his own personal security from rising urban terrorism by fleeing Philadelphia and building a subterranean fallout shelter in the forests of north central Pennsylvania; but it’s his own insecurity, which he cannot flee, that nearly lands him in jail for homicide that he did not commit.

Jon Kohl (Costa Rica 1993-95)
Jon Kohl has been writing his whole life, starting in fifth grade when he scored the highest on a diagnostic creative writing test in his home town, Foxborough, Massachusetts. In high school he founded the literary magazine and edited the high school newspaper.
At Dartmouth College he interned at the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, Oceanus Magazine, Greenpeace Magazine, served on the literary magazine, wrote for the humor magazine (founded by Theodor Geisel who would later become Dr. Suess), and created Sense of Place, the first formatted magazine to be distributed across a digital network in the history of the internet.
Since that time, as a freelance writer, he has published four non-fiction books* and over 270 academic, trade, and popular articles on topics related to heritage conservation, protected areas management, holistic thinking, Integral Theory, tourism management, and heritage interpretation, among others. One of his principal interests is using a holistic or Integral perspective to think outside the box for heritage management. See his top publications at his ResearchGate profile (jon_kohl).
