I couldn't wait for this book to come out, simply because I was dying to know what happens next with Cat and Bevidere. I wasn't disappointed, Tracy really ended this series on a amazing note. WOW, this story blew me away, and I could not put it down until the very satisfying end. I love Bedivere and Cat and find them among the most interesting characters I have read. You'll love the roller coaster ride! What I truly like is the stories never go in the direction I would expect. These stories are in my "to be read time and again" file. If I could get it more than five stars this would be the series! This was such a fantastic series. Never had I read one that hit me so profoundly. A remarkable conclusion to this refreshing and captivating sci-fi series. For a couple of days I hadn't been able to put the book down - it draws you in, Mrs Posey has the knack to enthralled the reader with her confident passionate writing. This is a great trilogy and it has a beautiful ending with so much drama, suspense and intrigue and love the middle. It keep me through a couple of nights not wanting to put it down. It was worth it! This book never went the way I expected. There were numerous plot twists that made this an AMAZING story!! Bedivere and Catherine are wonderfully complex and flawed beings. I usually find it very easy to put a book down when I am reading it and to walk away from a book once I am done with it. Not so much this time.

Beyond Decommissioning: The Reuse and Redevelopment of Nuclear Installations presents the most up-to-date research and guidance on the reuse and redevelopment of nuclear plants and sites. Consultant Michele Laraia extensively builds upon experience from the redevelopment of non-nuclear industrial sites, a technical field that has considerably predated nuclear applications, to help the reader gain a very thorough and practical understanding of the redevelopment opportunities for decommissioned nuclear sites. Laraia emphasizes the socioeconomic and financial benefits from very early planning for site reuse, including how to manage the decommissioning transition, anticipate financial issues, and effectively utilize available resources. With an increasing number of decommissioning projects being conducted worldwide, it is critical that knowledge gained by experts with hands-on experience is passed on to the younger generation of nuclear professionals. Besides, this book describes the experiences of non-nuclear organizations that have reutilized the human, financial, and physical site assets, with adaptations, for a new productive mission, making it a key reference for all parties associated with nuclear operation and decommissioning. Those responsible for nuclear operation and decommissioning are encouraged to incorporate site reuse within an integrated, beginning-to-end view of their projects. The book also appeals to nuclear regulators as it highlights more opportunities to complete nuclear decommissioning safely, speedily, and in the best interests of all concerned parties. - Includes lessons learned from worldwide case studies of reuse and repurposing of nuclear plants from both the nuclear and non-nuclear industries - Provides practical guidance on a broad-spectrum of factors and opportunities for nuclear decommissioning - Identifies the roles and responsibilities of parties involved, including nuclear operators, regulators and authorities, land planners and environmentalists
