Last Thousand

About this book

Last Thousand opens on the morning after. Cal Brennan, forty one, who had lived in his motorhome by choice for years, moving between seasonal jobs across the American West, wakes at a rest stop under a flawless sky to a silence he has never heard: no traffic, no aircraft, no radio. Over the following days he learns what the reader learns with him, that something came through the world in a single week, quiet and fast, and took almost everyone, and that he, for reasons nobody will ever explain, was not taken. The book never dwells on horror; it is a story about the living, and it moves.
