RaveThe Washington PostMurray has so thoroughly thought through the ramifications of his conceit and conjured up such a dramatic plot and stellar cast of characters that he might have set a new standard for such tales ... Murray convincingly skims over dicey physics with the help of logic and bravado, not to mention the sociological changes he so persuasively envisions ... a tantalizing, suspenseful odyssey of frustration, deceit, treachery, torture, hope, despair and ingenious sleuthing ... Reminding us that the ills we focus on are sometimes the least likely to harm us, The Last Day joins an illustrious lineage of novels that shatters humanity’s security and complacency but proclaims that somehow the race will survive.
