Description: "...one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time."--Nancy Pearl, KUOW "...the 'don't lose hope' ending is slam bang, setting us up for the 'final-final' installment."-- Florida Times-Union " A precise, calendar-driven doom casts a shadow over the series, a planet-killer asteroid that the Earth can't duck, making this an existential policier. "-- The Sunbreak "...a thrilling and contagious read."-- Fayetteville Flyer "Through it all Palace remains a likeable hero for end times..."-- PublishersWeekly.com "Winters is a deft storyteller who moves his novel effortlessly from its intriguing setup to a thrilling, shattering conclusion."-- Los Angeles Review of Books "...gripping..."-- The Free Lance-Star "... Winters's work shines."-- Locus "Don't miss this series!"-- Sci Fi magazine "As with the first Hank Palace novel (this is volume 2 of a projected trilogy), the mystery element is strong, and the strange, preapocalyptic world is highly imaginative and also very plausible--it's easy to think that the impending end of the world might feel very much like this. Genre mash-up master Winters is at it again."-- Booklist
