I found this Washington Post article to be fascinating, especially after seeing Food Inc. a couple of weeks ago. I’m used to seeing meat contamination, and more recently spinach and other vegetables (most likely from the runoff of feed lots where cows walk around in their own feces), but cookie dough IS an unlikely suspect. The good news is that the government is finally moving to increase their regulatory power in the food industry. While this is bad news, particularly for those infected with e.coli, I hope that it helps push through the legislation needed to ensure that the industry is regulated. There’s something wrong when the USDA knows that there is e. coli-contaminated beef sitting on store shelves and can’t do anything about it (for that particular example – see Food Inc.).
Raining Fire – Out now!
Raining Fire, the third and final book in the Ben Gold series, was released on July 18, 2017. This book concludes the story begun in Falling Sky and Rising Tide. Publisher’s Weekly said, “Khanna wraps up his postapocalyptic adventure series with a capable page-turner…the airships, slavers, cannibalistic Ferals, and visceral action scenes make this a worthy culmination to the series.”
Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble now.
Rising Tide -Out now!
Rising Tide, the sequel to Falling Sky, was released on October 6, 2015. Publisher's Weekly said, "Khanna crafts a terrifyingly dismal picture of the future, raising the stakes by gradually stripping Ben of friends and support while throwing him into increasingly dire situations. His worldbuilding remains solid and unsettling, and he never loses sight of the human element. The cliffhanger ending is sure to leave readers on the edges of their seats, panting for resolution."Falling Sky – Out now!
Falling Sky, my first novel, came out October 7, 2014 from Pyr. It's an adventure story set in a post-apocalyptic future with airships. Publisher's Weekly called it a "solid and memorable debut" while Library Journal gave it a starred review and named it Debut of the Month. For more information, please click here.
