Addy's Boom and the Blast Frontier

Marvin Haskin (Boom) was finally getting comfortable in life. He had learned how to dismiss his troubles, large and small. He came to believe that he didn't matter much, and that nothing else really did, either.
But the same river of unpredictable-turned-mundane events that had shaped his more callous outlook on life was unwittingly preparing him for the ugliest horrors his new world had to offer. Fate had delivered him from his home in Maryland to the small town of Mathews County, Virginia--a fate that should have already seen him dead.
When natural disasters fail to take him, and war, hunger, and thoughts of giving up can’t put him away, he learns that life is not predictable and when he finds himself in a fight for the lives of three new friends, he begins to identify a much larger picture than he ever imagined; of thinking bigger than himself, being ignorant of odds, and being certain that no matter what happened, he was in the right place with the right friends, and the right dog.
