A pleasant Christmas day surprise, this CB short story.  A fascinating new concept is introduced when Casper and Browbeat attempt to give Charlie, Kip, Rick, and Adrian a surprise Christmas gift.  The result is something not previously seen in the series. and I look forward in future stories how this works into the series.

 

Well worth reading.

Response from the author:

I find the idea of surprising you very pleasant, my friend! :)

I can't wait to get our new friend together with Ragal, who comes from the same period in time!

Bwah, hah hah hah haaaa...

A brief new chapter in the Booneiverse. Pleased to see @Geron Kees back in top writing form. Much of his work brings a smile to my brain because the default assumption isn’t apocalyptic or distopian.  Bad things can happen in the Boone stories, and not every ending is a happy one (The Beltracians come to mind)but it is comforting to have stories unfolding among a group of beings with genuine empathy and care for each other and a sense of wonder. Merry Christmas, Charlie Boone!

Response from the author:

And Happy Holidays to you!

I find that bad things can happen and it's not the end of the world. Most of the time, the guys just deal with things as best they can. When you have a core of cooperative, intelligent, and caring people doing something together, the end result deserves to be better than expected. :)

Thanks!
