    Summary

    "It was a perfectly beautiful night, as fall nights are in Washington. I walked out of the President's Oval Office, and as I walked out, I thought I might never live to see another Saturday night."
    -Robert MacNamara, Secretary of Defense

    The Crossroads Nuclear Tests have an unpredictable result: the awakening of a terrible threat from the depths of the furthest seas. Intrigue, Cold War brinksmanship, and the legacy of a twenty-year dead war will push the world to a breaking point... and it will be up to the combined effort of both the war and peace generations to try to keep things from tipping over the unrecoverable edge. At the forefront of this effort is the newly-completed USS Enterprise (CVAN-65), her crew, and the mystic forces that man has always seen in the seas rearing their head. Anchors Aweigh!

    Summary

    There are certain experiences a monastic goes through while on the road. Sleeping under the stars and waking up to the chirping birds. Enjoying the cool autumn mornings. Surviving the cold of the night. Stumbling upon a misplaced rock and hurting your toe. Living with the backache, given that you’ve been limping for days in a row without a sight of another human being, while you deeply question the principles of pilgrimage. Searching for fruit in the wild. Lighting a bonfire. Seeing the world. Nothing much.
    Drinking illicit alcohol and listening to tales from a fearsome little girl is noteworthy, though.

    Or: an almost-nun walks by the mountain and has an unusual encounter.

    English version of Oni da Montanha.
