The Empty Swing (Where Eagles Never Fly 2)
Much of humanity’s technology has been crippled by a computer virus and the world Roland Hadson once knew has become more of a police state than a free country. Having learned to live alone, the desire to bring people into the subterranean shelter he has prepared, and the fear of bringing people in, create a strange internal conflict for him
The Old Order Mennonite community where he first seeks to help people is facing prejudice and hatred, in part because the loss of computer technology has had little impact on their lives.
With his sights set on peopling his cavern, Roland squares off against vile oppressors as he ignores his own survival instinct in order to secure the survival of others, learning that sometimes, violence is a necessary evil.
In a world filled with persecution and hostility, it’s up to the brave ones to soar where eagles never fly.

Books were one of my greatest delights in grade school, high school, and beyond. I devoured the library in the small country school I attended, then practically moved into the much bigger library at the high school. I loved sports, but luring me out of a good book demanded pretty impressive bait. As I grew older, a second passion emerged that led to more than one book being set down too close to aquarium inhabitants who splashed it. I read voraciously, and I wrote, and wrote, and wrote—slowly gaining skill.
Voracious readers don’t always become great writers—but they become obsessively unwilling to settle for mediocre writing and impose that on someone else. That is an excellent starting place for quality.
This book had its genesis in the first year of our marriage, sparked by a 1977 Popular Science article. It went through multiple rewrites in those first few years. When I became involved with a Writer’s Association, it received a complete rewrite EVERY time I learned something new—and there was a great deal to learn. 46 years plus since the first words of this work were hammered out on an old manual typewriter. It should dare to have SOME quality to it by now.
