Chronicle During Books Going Gone
What is a single life worth? In our modern world, where wars are on the cusp of igniting at a moment’s notice, new diseases ravage entire populations, and hidden atrocities erase the lives of thousands, what can the death of a single person mean?It can mean the tenuous line between peace and destruction.
Kurt Ramis knows this, as he watches the aftermath of an assassination on his television set. His years in the CIA have prepared him for such a dreadful day.
“Rasul” knows this, as he follows his young guide down the streets of New York City, with a gift for his adopted country.
The soldiers and sentries of Camelot’s Corridor, deep under the sands of Texas know this, as they prepare the secret bunker for the President’s arrival.
Mike Keogh knows this, as he remembers fallen friends, betrayals, and mention of a secretive monster named the Tangerine Demon.
Jessie Rosen will know it soon enough, as she descends the steps to Kubrá, to meet her deliverer. Her new family descends those steps as well, calling for their Lord to hear their prayers.
Phil Barr begrudgingly knows this, as he cowers in his palatial Hollywood Hills mansion, murderers and thugs auditioning on live TV, sirens ringing in his ears. This wasn’t how his charmed life was supposed to turn out.
And DaRWIn knows this best of all, as it predicted the assassination, and the calamitous after-effects some time ago.
On a certain day, on a certain street in the Middle East, the taking of a single life will mean everything, and it will shake the foundation of humanity. It will be the pulling of a loose strand in mankind’s tapestry, undoing the progress of a thousand years, ripping apart at the seams countless lives, countless societies.
Intertwining lives and stories, some saved and some ended, some Going, some Gone…

July 28, 1941. Archduke Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie of Austria were assassinated. The first domino that led to World War I. In Going Gone, the first domino was also an assassination. What follows may be worse than WWI. Going Gone starts with a bang and doesnt lose much pace throughout. Lots of bodies; some surprising, some sad, all linked. Looking back, I can see the arc. The Jewel Thief is that first domino to fall. Ramos knew what was to follow and he still thought he could help Jason and hisFirst a disclaimer: I received a free copy of Going Gone by Abraham Lopez in return for an honest review of the book.That being said, I can now tell you that this is a book worthy of more than one read. Not to gush too much, but reading Lopez made me think of short stories by the likes of Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick: thought-provoking and entertaining at the same time, with wonderful metaphors and similes that jump out. Examples: The host of bodyguards, meanwhile, moved into the nearest

I would like to start with this, at the beginning I was so confused because the story started instantly and then everything was ok just like that. It is an excellent series of twelve stories and I believe they are connected somehow beautifully. There is sensitive content but this was ok for me. A very sharp and "honest" book. Thank you author.
Abraham spent his formative years in rural Colorado, where he was born. He has also lived in Northern Nevada, Virginia, and Northwest Arkansas. These disparate environments and local cultures have had a great impact on Abraham's view of America and his writing styles. Though educated as a computer programmer, Abraham hopes to be a full-time writer in the near future.
Certainly contained the elements that mattered to me. It didn't romanticize anything. Didn't pull away from scrutiny in examining a nuclear war's aftermath. Trauma has never been dealt properly in history of mankind and I think we can see the same pain in this story as well.
