It’s like having a conversation with a sharp, slightly cynical friend who notices things you never do. One minute, you’re thinking about coffee and the next, you’re contemplating the meaning of existence. Witty, weird, and oddly comforting.

The Pope of AtlantisLaura S., Thoughtful Fiction Reader:
This isn’t your standard end-of-the-world novel. It’s about history, belief, and what it means to be human when everything falls apart. The writing is sharp, the characters are compelling, and the big questions linger long after you finish. Highly recommend.
