Scott Sigler called Doucette’s cozy apocalypse story,
“entertaining as hell.†Come see how the world ends, not with a
bang, but a whatever . . . The whateverpocalypse. That’s what
Touré, a twenty-something Cambridge coder, calls it after waking
up one morning to find himself seemingly the only person left in
the city. Once he finds Robbie and Carol, two equally disoriented
Harvard freshmen, he realizes he isn’t alone, but the name
sticks: Whateverpocalypse. But it doesn’t explain where everyone
went. It doesn’t explain how the city became overgrown with
vegetation in the space of a night. Or how wild animals with no
fear of humans came to roam the streets. Add freakish weather to
the mix, swings of temperature that spawn tornadoes one minute and
snowstorms the next, and it seems things can’t get much weirder.
Yet even as a handful of new survivors appear—Paul, a preacher as
quick with a gun as a Bible verse; Win, a young professional with a
horse; Bethany, a thirteen-year-old juvenile delinquent; and
Ananda, an MIT astrophysics adjunct—life in Cambridge,
Massachusetts gets stranger and stranger. The self-styled
Apocalypse Seven are tired of questions with no answers. Tired of
being hunted by things seen and unseen. Now, armed with curiosity,
desperation, a shotgun, and a bow, they become the hunters. And
that’s when things truly get weird.Â

Ships in 10 - 15 working days
|
Have you ever wondered: --How to perform an appendectomy? --How to
rob a bank? --How to take a bullet? --How to deliver a baby in a
manger? --How to summit Mt. Everest? --How to mend a broken heart?
It never opened its doors, and for all that time, the towns people
have wondered why the ship landed there, and what - or who could be
inside. Then one day, a government operative - posing as a
journalist - arrives in town, asking questions. He discovers
sixteen year old Annie Collins, one of the ship's closest
neighbours, and a local fixture, known throughout the town, has
some of the answers. As a matter of fact, Annie Collins might be
the most important person on the planet. She just doesn't know it.
