Post-apocalyptic novels tell you that in the future there is some great war. I would tell you that most cops say that it's going on right now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After each of my books about the war has appeared, I thought it might be the last, but I've stopped saying that to myself. There are just too many stories left to tell - in fact, more all the time.
America has always had an apocalyptic strain. Yet it also seems to believe that if, or when, The End comes, it will still come out on top.
The fight, this war, this fight against the remnants of terrorism will go on for some time.
Now, I believe that war is never inevitable until it starts, but there has been a great proclivity in human history, and including in recent history, for war.
For me, writing post-apocalyptic novels isn't so much about exploding helicopters and fifty-megaton doomsday bombs as it is about the pleasure of dealing with the best of everything that makes us human: cleverness, grit, loyalty, and self-sacrifice.
If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war.
War is tragedy. The great war stories are tragedies. It's the failure of diplomacy. 'War and Peace,' 'A Farewell to Arms,' 'For Whom the Bell Tolls.' Those are some of the greatest tragedies.
No war is over until the enemy says it's over.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
Many of the best films made about war have come out after the wars have ended. People need a period of time to reflect on them.
