..........The extremely humble owner of "THE ROOKIE" #2487/3000

But no, that Tracy Hickman is story is older than 2011. I don't know, but I'd guess it's about 8 or 9 years old. I don't have any idea if the two are related.

The book The Immortals is a story about internment camps in America. I listened to it at least 5 years ago. It's a fantastic story, I'd highly recommend it
-- Death, chaos and mayhem, the music of the night

"Is a science fiction novel originally published in hardcover by Roc. The novel describes a future America in which a virus similar to AIDS has panicked the U.S. government into setting up concentration camps to contain the sufferers." "It was published in 1996, the AIDS-like disease serves as a backdrop and a plot device to examine human relationships in circumstances of extreme duress" I had to look this subject up on the world wide web. It does sound interesting, I might give this one a listen

Though coincidental, to be sure, is the use of fuel-air bombs, which I believe are mentioned in Ancestor and Contagious.

It's all fun and games until the nukes start falling and the zombies start calling...

I didn't know they were making a film called The Immortals.  I just listened to Tracy Hickman's podiobook by the same name.  Several of the geographical references are the same between the two stories and I was just wondering if there was a corellation.

I just finished the story and it was truly eye opening.  How amazing are the parallels to the Japanese internment camps of the '40s and the political climate of today.

I love the concept of using the air as a fuel.  I first ran into that idea when I was playing combat flight sims in the 90's.  What a great and hellish invention!

I listened to it 2 years ago. I didn't realise it was in print *opens another session to search amazon*

It really hit home.  Most people I know are not homo-phobes and would never stand for that kind of treatment but I have met a few people that would not have a problem with it.  I guess when everyone is panicked it's easy to grab the low hanging fruit and start blaming the easy targets.

probably 4-5 yrs ago.  It was a good story and  a little different from what Tracy usually writes.  As I understand it.  Tracy wrote it many years ago but waited to publish the story because he didn't feel the time was right.  I have it in my ipod to relisten to the story and I also bought a copy of the book.  It's funny that I had just put it in my  ipod a few days ago and then saw this thread.
