"Lightning in the Clouds", by Glenn Trust

Journey and Passage

This book is a collection of short stories dealing with the journey and passage that we will take at the end of our time. There is no escape and when our time comes we will go….

11 well-written stories of different genres, some you zip through in no time and other you take a leisurely stroll through their scenarios. All have death in common but before death there is life. Mr. Trust words are not macabre they simply send you on an emotional journey. The stories range from mystery, suspense, social issues, etc.…… with fear, anger, defeat, laughter and tears we are taken on a moving passage along with the characters.

Although I am not usually a fan of short stories, here I make exception. From start to finish there are no dull moments, each scenario is captivating and exciting. The plots although short are detailed and based in the real world with characters that deal with facts of life in all their frailties.

Mr. Trust is an excellent storyteller, his 195 pages “Lightning in the Clouds” is worthwhile reading.
