Book Club Questions
|
| 1. Both Emily Beale and Troy Ryland face a common crisis of family versus career; in their cases one so extreme they can't even occur in the same part of the country. How have you balanced these in your life and what led you to making the decisions that you did? In retrospect, if you're old enough to have retrospect, what do you think of the choices you made? |
| 2. The US is pulling back from being the world's policeman. In the past, we might well have long since put boots on the ground in Ukraine, Israel, and other places. What do you think of this contraction? Better security for us? Or giving rise to a dangerously chaotic world? |
| 3. Have you ever had a calling like our Night Stalkers pilots? Something that you felt driven and perhaps particularly qualified to do? How did that/is that shaping your life and the lives of those around you? If you don't have one, which one do you wish you'd had? Is there a way to pursue that? |
| 4. The military has very strict rules about relationships and not overlapping chains of command. Do you think this policy is good because it prevents an officer from being forced to make hard decisions in dangerous situations? Or should it be dropped so that families are not shredded by different duties often spread far apart? |
| 5. If you could wave a magic wand and make one small change in the world, what would it be and why? |
