PG - 13 : Parental Guidance Recommended This novel does contain descriptions of moderate action violence, suggestive adult content, controlled drug use, political themes, and some persons could interpret that it has religious connotations. Events and behaviours have been presented as realistic as possible; so as to be true to the human condition. Technical Notes The technologies described in this novel are based on the extrapolations (over the next 100 years) of existing 21st century engineering and science. The technical solutions proposed are derived specifically to resolve the engineering (as well as social and economic) problems resulting from the story’s premise and associated situational circumstances. Alas, the storyline does not utilize advanced technologies such as; faster than light travel (e.g. warp drives), wormholes, jump gates, teleportation, time travel, parallel dimensioning, and other such techno wizardry.

What you won't find in The Review is a reliance of the four media favorites and we all know what they are. What you will find is an extensive library of topics most of which were written while SB was sitting on a ridge overlooking the Nile. She wanted them streamlined and sanitized and of course, such an approach begs the question; "Who would want to read them?" Anybody who is interested in a crisp, and clean and pristine trek through a land of LANGUAGE AND IDEAS. Anybody who is more intrigued by the life of the mind over our daily regimen of packaged distractions. Since their inception in 1980 for high school students, these topics have taken on a life of their own. They have expanded in quality, variety, tone, color and sheer volume. SOME ARE EVEN FUNNY. Our latest survey shows that The Sara Bellum Review covers a lot of territory and it instantly adjustable. The SBR can move with ease from the mainstream milieu to a syllabus for home schooling or read as a verbal snack while doing your laundry. The material is clean and we are certain that it will fit into your personal wordrobe.
