A Swarm Cycle Story
Outpost series #1
An interesting foursome listens for Sa'arm communications at the deep space listening post Heinlein station. A short peek into the intelligence side of the Swarm Cycle.
To keep his mother, Tala, and himself going, fourteen-year-old Filipino-American boy Angelo takes up with American sailors near the 1973 Subic Bay, Philippines, naval complex when his B-girl mother is too ill to turn tricks. They have had a hardscrabble existence in the Olongapo City slums since Angelo's sailor father shipped out thirteen years earlier. Angelo is ready to service sailors, but being handed around proves to be a rough, loveless life.
Young men and boys, like the fourteen-year-olds Skip, the hitchhiker, and Donnie, the bored nowhere town junior high schooler, gather from all over the badlands region on the Cheyenne-to-Sioux Falls big rig truck run to enjoy and scheme and network to be in the right place at the right time to petition to get the servicing of their lives from Ralph, the semitrailer truck driving Road Romeo.
