The Prophecy family has demolished the entrance to their End Times mountain keep with explosives in order to isolate themselves from Governor Tetlin's army of Doomsday preppers. But the army has other things on its mind—The rogue planet Pipnonia, which is on a collision course with Earth, is being torn apart by cosmic forces in the sky overhead. Deuteronomy Prophecy, outside the mountain keep and abandoned by her family, enlists the help of Ranger Kuliak in a last-ditch effort to rescue her youngest brothers and sisters via a narrow ventilation shaft. But even if they succeed, where can they find shelter when the sky is literally falling on their heads?

Author · 12 books
Author David Marusek writes science fiction in a cabin in Fairbanks, Alaska. His work has appeared in Playboy, Nature, MIT Technology Review, Asimov’s, and other periodicals and anthologies and has been translated into ten languages. According to Publisher's Weekly, “Marusek's writing is ferociously smart, simultaneously horrific and funny, as he forces readers to stretch their imaginations and sympathies." His two novels and clutch of short stories have earned him numerous award nominations and have won the Theodore Sturgeon and Endeavour awards. “. . . Marusek could be the one sci-fi writer in a million with the potential to make an increasingly indifferent audience care about the genre again . . .”—New York Times Book Review. “Marusek is one of the relatively few contemporary sf writers who seems deeply responsive to the contemporary world”—Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. His current novel project, Camp Tribulation, is a tale of love, faith, and alien invasion set in the Alaskan bush.
