Read about another book on the list.Countdown City, by Ben Winters
The sequel to the Edgar Award–winning The Last Policeman continues the story of Henry Palace, a former New Hampshire cop who is still trying to do his job even though civilization is slowly unraveling around him. With a massive asteroid headed toward Earth, humankind has just 77 days until its impact essentially ends civilization. As the world devolves into chaos, Palace vows to help a woman from his past locate her missing husband. The storyline of this projected trilogy is fascinating on several levels, particularly the exploration of the thematic question, “What would you do if you knew the world was going to end in just a few months?” A highly entertaining and singular blend of mystery and apocalyptic fiction, this saga will appeal to fans of both genres.
