Adrift in a Boneyard — Robert Lewis Taylor

Fred Robinson occasionally wondered what it would be like to be the only man in the world. There was a mellow old pop tune about it, with words suitable for framing, crooning in his young wife's ear, or singing to himself in the flattering acoustics of the shower. Then came the Great Storm, and the words became horribly true. Unaccountably, everyone in Fred's car that night was spared. Four people -- the sole survivors of an incredible catastrophe that made Fred Robinson, quite literally, the first and only man in a not-so-brave, new world! Just staying alive would have been a monumental task to a lesser man, but to one ingenious enough to have figured out the recipe for a perfect martini, no problem was insurmountable. ************************************************************************************** Not too far below the surface of Robert Lewis Taylor's genuinely funny satire lies a chilling and challenging theme and a situation in which (heaven forbid!) any one of us might find ourselves tomorrow. Over and above our promise that ADRIFT IN A BONEYARD will rock you with laughter, we guarantee that it will chip the complacency of the most sophisticated observer of the contemporary scene.
