| Publisher Description: "A thrill-packed" blend of science fiction and apocalyptic thriller from the veteran horror writer and author of Halo: Broken Circle (Metro Silicon Valley). Judgment Day has arrived, and it's stranger than anyone could have predicted. . . . Jim Swift, a reporter for the Sacramento Bee, is determined to get to the bottom of the recent bizarre global occurrences that seem to be more in the realm of outlandish conspiracy theories than real-life facts. People who once trafficked in slaves, war, cruelty, and death are suddenly experiencing strange visions and reexamining their lives. But the inexplicable rehabilitation of humanity's worst evildoers is only the beginning. As Jim sets out on a frantic search for his lost daughter, he must traverse a world reduced to the chaos of fear and uncertainty--for the end of everything we've ever known will be at hand once the Adjusters arrive from the stars. The Other End, John Shirley's brilliant and biting apocalyptic thriller, is the veteran author's answer to the bestselling Left Behind novels. A magnificent amalgam of science fiction, horror, satire, and heart-pounding adventure, it's a stunning and thought-provoking tale of righteous redemption in a dystopian near-future. |
