A man seeking refuge from his mistakes happens upon a dried up bayside settlement with unfinished business.

Under the threat of international warfare, a woman coming to terms with the death of dear friends learns that their disappearance was not as permanent as it appeared. An old man with a terminal illness, who feels he got life all wrong, wants to make sure that at least he gets death right.

From life on a space station to tales that orbit a little too close to home, Reading Glasses is a compelling, fantastical departure from the familiar. 9780989818995 0989818993 268 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=nunRngEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
