The Newtster wrote the forward for the novel. EMP is a well know phenomenon that was discovered in the late '50s or early '60s during atmospheric nuclear testing over the Pacific Ocean. It can do what the Newtster claims. Google "EMP" Vic -- *Victor Fraenckel KC2GUI windswaytoo ATSIGN gmail DOT com** *

I wonder if they were aware of the double meaning in what they were writing. Cheers, Bob -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class

Ask Gargoyle about Starfish Prime (and friends). AFAIR it killed street lights in Hawaii. Good trick if you can do it. Turned our skies red for weeks. While there look for "Lucky Dragon" - not so lucky :-(. Collateral damage, but not EMP. Russell
