I suppose everyone at one time or another has looked around and wondered to themselves “what in the hell am I doing here?” Such occasions are often precipitated by a series of events which fell well outside the boundaries of our plans and accordingly our noses are out of joint. So we pout, like petulant children, mostly to ourselves as we don’t really want anyone to see we are upset as that might embarrass us. After all we are adults you know and capable of handling grown up situations.
After a bit of sulking we regain our equilibrium and realize all the things we don’t have to endure and we begin to once again feel pretty damn good about where we are and our lot in life. We don’t have a war going on, we don’t have tornados, we don’t have earthquakes, volcanoes or avalanches attempting to bury us and our small towns. That’s pretty damn good compared to what folks elsewhere have to cope with and endure the ravages of. I think I would really have a really serious fit if I were told by authorities I had two hours to pack my stuff and evacuate or be burned alive by a forest fire.
D.A.R.I.A. is a super human Artificial Intelligence Artilect entity that learns, recognizes, monitors, controls, evaluates, and recommends at levels that humans can only envy. Matt, Frosty, Daria with the Artilect intelligence of Muther and the sisters, are faced with Emergency repairs of an ailing Trade Station. At the same time Matt is offered a very lucrative assignment on a small REE (Rare Earth Element) rich planet to broker a mining agreement. What seems like a straight forward assignment goes sideways with deceit and turns into an ongoing train wreck. Pirates bring the risk of death and the mining company is not as it might seem on the surface. D.A.R.I.A. BOOK FIVE is the fifth book in this exciting series of Matt Southam and Daria the sentient AI computer system.

The world watched in horror at the tragedy and devastation of the 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami that devastated Phuket, Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Thailand, Siri Lanka and Indonesia killing 230,000 people. More recently the world again was transfixed as it watched the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami kill 20,000 men, women and children. Along with the absolute destruction of everything reaching inland for 10 kilometers.
Even so no one was prepared for the under sea fault rupture Earthquake and the Mega Tsunami which destroyed the coastal areas of Southern British Columbia, Canada and the North Western coastal area of the USA, the area called Cascadia.

The “blue hour”, always offline, the time of day when all is calm and peaceful. We relax and absorb the stunning view and perhaps share a libation with friends and family. A time of love and comradery and tranquility, reflecting not only on the events of the day but also on how very fortunate we really are with our place in the world and our life. Enjoy the therapy of Mother Nature.
Best
