One thing after another for poor Krypton

I finished reading Kevin J. Anderson’s “The Last Days of Krypton” over the holiday weekend.Considering you know how it ends — Krypton goes boom, baby Kal-El is sent into space — it’s surprisingly suspenseful. For one thing, Anderson keeps you guessing as to the reason for Krypton’s demise. As he told me when we talked recently, Krypton essentially has a big target painted on it, with one global threat after another. Look for for the novel in late October.
