FINAL HOUR or A Hard Rain Is Falling
A Dystopian Tragedy and Post Apocalyptic Survival Thriller
"What's my name? Don't ask me. I'd have to trust you to tell you, and why should I do that?"
The apocalypse begins while she is driving home. A cosmic disruption shreds her life. Flaming hailstones mixed with blood fall from the sky and devastate the world. The fires that follow pin her down. Yet, she cannot stay here.
She musters her courage and begins to walk across the ravaged land to the house of her parents far away, not knowing what awaits her there.
She is alone and without means. She has no survival skills and hunger is a mean beast following at her heels—when a mysterious stranger steps into her life and adds to her confusion.
Signs of roving gangs and murderous blood cults appear along the way. But the danger of the road is nothing. The closer she gets to her destination, the further she descends into a nightmare, until she faces a showdown with true evil.
FINAL HOUR is the moving story of a young woman's voyage through a future in which lawlessness abounds and trust is a luxury. What keeps people alive in the face of universal enmity and destruction? Who will mete out just recompense when the institutions of civilization are defunct? This is a bold meditation on good and evil, on true justice and moral quandaries.
Dystopian and post apocalyptic fiction in the vein of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. A harrowing tale. A thriller. Full of suspense, even without graphic sex and gore.
About the author:
G.H.W. Holmes loves deep forests, which he frequently visits with a rucksack and a rifle.
