Only People Who Haven't Lived Through A War Advocate It So Eagerly.

When I Was A Kid, My Favorite Movies Were The George Pal Version Of 'war Of The Worlds,' 'them,' And 'invasion Of The Body Snatchers.' Those Movies Were Scary! They Haunted My Nightmares For Years, So When I Started Writing, I Wanted To Write A Story That Was Just As Big And Just As Scary.

Something Went Klunk. Like A Nickel Dropping In A Soda Machine. One Of Those Small Insights That Explains Everything. This Was Puberty For These Boys. Adolescence.
