Today, few Hamiltonians know a person who works for a railroad. Trains often block the 34 at-grade crossings in the city, there’s only two underpasses and an almost endless concert of locomotive horns echoing hundreds of yards from the source.

And can love in the present erase mistakes of the past? He has a different connection to Keeley - one that has nothing to do with phones, and one that will make their new relationship all but impossible. But while Keeley has been playing a part online, Talon has been keeping a secret. Sparks fly when the two finally meet to exchange their phones. Texting Talon, she can be the person she’s always wanted to be. Texting Talon, she can step out of the shadow of her popular twin brother. Keeley learns there’s more to Talon than the egocentric jock most people see. And as Keeley gets to know Talon, she starts to like him. Reluctantly, the two agree to forward messages for a week. It’s even worse when she discovers that the phone she now has belongs to the obnoxious, self-centered Talon and that he’s just left for football camp … with her phone. It’s bad enough when high-school senior Keeley grabs the wrong phone while leaving her small town’s end-of-summer fair. He fought alongside Cassibelanus when Caesar invaded. The History gives the following account of Nennius's life: He was the third son of Heli and brother of Lud and Cassibelanus (and according to Welsh sources, of Llefelys). In the Tudor and Jacobean eras he became an emblem of British patriotism. In Geoffrey's story, Nennius is said to have fought Caesar in personal combat and taken his sword, which he used to kill many Romans. In Middle Welsh versions of Geoffrey's Historia he was called Nynniaw. His story appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain (1136), a work whose contents are now considered largely fictional. Nennius is a mythical prince of Britain at the time of Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain (55–54 BC).

Thankfully, for the second book in his Aftermath trilogy, Star Wars Aftermath Life Debt ( hardcover, digital), Wendig is bringing back some old friends for a much more exciting and satisfying adventure. It’s why Claudia Gray’s original trilogy-overlapping Lost Stars and Greg Rucka’s Force Awakens prequel Star Wars Before The Awakening have been the strongest, while Chuck Wendig’s “it’s post- Return Of The Jedi but where did everybody go?” Star Wars Aftermath, though entertaining, is one of the weakest.
