I really enjoyed this book for it's interesting and believable characters.
As in life, there were no 'black hats' and 'white hats'. I got to know each one in there glory and dispair. It's a testiment to Mr. Hrbek's writing skill that I found sympathy and understanding for all the characters even as they made their way through stressful situations and sometimes acted irrationally.
I also appreaciated the accurate SF references as I'm a Bay Area resident.
I hope he's at work on another one!

Having stumbled onto this book one weekend while in my favorite bookstore, I was intrigued by the title, pulled it from the shelf and purchased it. I'm thankful that I did not miss this novel.
In parallel stories, THE HIDENBURG CRASHES NIGHTLY chronicles Tom Markham's enduring love for Lindsey Paris, a girl eight years his senior.
A dark and sensual story of passion and obsession, this is a gorgeously written first novel, which hopefully, will not be Mr. Hrebk's last. While this novel seems to be limited in availability, do whatever you can to find a copy.

It has been a long time (since Scott Spencer's "Endless Love") coming that a novel has been so beautifully written about lonliness, pain, obssession and the angst of youth. Bravo Greg Hrbek and I look forward to future literary gems from you! It has been a long time since I had a book that I couldn't wait to get back to and felt annoyed when reality pulled me away.
