What if the end of civilization was not a random act of nature? What if it was the conscious act of a person who wanted the number of humans reduced dramatically - like by 99.9%? An epic in multiple books, The World's End Series is a large cast adventure that will alternately tear your heart out and make you recoil in horror - but it will not allow you to stop reading. In the vein of a combination of Stephen King's The Stand and Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, the book shows what happens before and after the world changes forever. Written in a refreshingly natural style, the story flows more like a movie than a book. The series is inhabited by an unforgettable group of characters, all as real as any people you may meet today - or be lucky enough not to meet. There are college students, army Rangers, whores, Geneticists, Dollar Store Managers, American Indians, orphans, inventors and even gang members. And you WILL remember each and every one of them as they build a new world. Their stories, at first completely separate, intertwine until the entire cast - or at least those who survive - meet in a final struggle that will define the type of world humans will inhabit for the next thousand years.
