Affiliate Link – The End is Nigh
Post-apocalyptic fiction in any form — cyberpunk dystopias, nuclear wastelands, “road warrior” scenarios — is one of the types of fiction I love to read. Which made it a requirement that I order The End is Nigh* as soon as I saw that it is more than just a short story collection:
- The book includes a new Paolo Bacigalupi story. Must. Read.
- The book is pre-apocalypse stories. Stories set right before things go wrong.
- The book is the first in a trilogy of collections. Book two will be focused on the actual apocalypse while book three is the actual “post-apocalypse” fiction.
Yep, gotta have this one.
Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm.
But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories.
