There had been twenty-two apocalypses to date. There were now four distinct variations of humanity roaming the earth — six, if you counted the undead. It had been suggested that there really should have been a new word to describe “the end of everything forever,” but most people had stopped noticing, much less caring, after the tally hit double digits. Not to mention the failure of “forever” in living up to its potential. The last apocalypse wasn’t even considered a cataclysm by most major governments. It was just a Thursday. is the tender, heart-stirring tale of crappy jobs, a slacker cult, an alcoholic Aztec god, reconstituted world leaders, werewolves, robots, and the shenanigans of multiple persons living after the twentieth-aught end of the world. Fast-paced, frenetic, funny, and frequently fond of other f-words, is the only book that will have you looking forward to the end of the world.

For another priestess, the prospect of an afterlife without the Spider Queen drives her into the arms of another goddess, shattering the tenuous alliances that have brought the drow to the threshold of the Abyss.

"Общественное мнение навязало писателям-фантастам образ этаких пророков, якобы знающих будущее. С одной стороны, это меня всегда раздражало, ибо такой подход сужает реальные возможности фантастики, искажает ее суть и вдобавок как бы обязывает ее заниматься тем, на что она вовсе не способна. Но, с другой стороны, такое мнение о фантастах не лишено известных оснований, потому что вряд ли в мире есть еще люди, которые с таким удовольствием, так систематически и, главное, почти профессионально размышляют о будущем..."
