    My old paperbacks are aging, so I am looking to replace my absolute favorites with kindle copies. Ironically one of the messages of this book is how fragile our high-tech electronic civilization is. This book is now almost alternative history, but while the players have changed; the dynamics of high energy physics is still the same.

    "Pulling Through" was a very good story of weathering a nuclear attack in a fallout shelter, as I was led to believe by other reviews. The other stories were entertaining, but I kept catching myself skipping ahead so I could get to the last story....if for nothing else, buy this book for that one.

    Book came quickly and was in very good condition, just as represented. I liked the stories as well.

    Rackham is a great read on an old subject. Only downer was that the story ended. Dean Ing is a master storyteller.

    This is a very entertaining book to read. If you pay close attention to the details in the story "Pulling Through" you stand a good chance of surviving a nuclear war.

    I was happy to find all the stories in one book. Really good read!
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2007
    This reprint collection collects two novellas and a short novel featuring Harve Rackham, Bay Area PI, bounty hunter and survivalist. "Inside Job" (2001), the most recent, is the earliest in Rackham's timeline -- but his timeline doesn't make sense, as "Inside Job" is a near-future piece, while the last, set about 10 years later in Rackham's life (but written first, in 1980), features a Soviet nuclear attack on the US!

    Well, let's call it an incompletely-retconned alternate-history, and move on to the stories themselves, which are all worth reading. "Inside Job" is a pretty routine techno-thriller, featuring an attempted large-scale terrorist attack on San Francisco by dastardly Middle Easterners. The pages turn, and I enjoyed it.

    The second novella, "Vital Signs" (1980), has Rackham the bounty-hunter hunting a savage ET hunter-killer, with a sweet twist ending. Slight, but nicely done.

    "Pulling Through" (1983) , the only one of these I'd previously read, is a story of surviving a (then) near-future full-scale nuclear attack on the US, by the USSR. It was intended as somewhat of a didactic civil-defense preparedness message, the utility of which has (probably, and fortunately) mostly passed, but it still works pretty well as a story.

    Ing is an underrated writer, imo. These aren't among his best works, but they're all competent or better commercial fiction, and well-worth reading if you're a fan of this sort of thing.

    Happy reading--
