In the spring of 2034, during a relative cool spell in New York—it's only 112 degrees outside—a lone assassin has targeted 36 men whose elimination promises to bring about the end of the world.
The year is 2034 in Steven Pressfield’s dystopian thriller...and the world is taking a beating from climate change. Devastating super-storms are common, nighttime temperatures are in triple digits, and experts are predicting 'the end of human life on Earth within a generation.' Meanwhile, crime marches on ... Mr. Pressfield keeps the revelations coming at an apocalyptic pace in this page-turner, where the planet’s fate comes to hang by the thread of a single human life.
The story, told through Dewey’s case notes, is an absorbing take on good vs. evil, and disasters pulled from today’s headlines lend unsettling realism to the supernatural-tinged apocalyptic setting.
With its caustic sensibility, fast and furious action scenes, and brusque dialogue...the book boasts a lively comic-book sensibility ...
Cop mentality meets religious fanaticism meets the future in a highly entertaining pop noir.
