Last Call for Doomsday‪!‬

Jay Wales returns from Mars to find Earth collapsing under the weight of its own evacuation. For years humanity has been fleeing the asteroid Nereus, whose predicted impact left only a narrow window to escape, but the frantic exodus is now slowing for reasons no one can explain. Ordered by the overworked UN Secretary to find Lee Kendrick, the brilliant scientist who first foretold the catastrophe, Wales heads back into a world of abandoned roads, shuttered towns, and crowded spaceports where ship after ship carries the desperate to Mars. As Wales pushes deeper into the danger zone, he discovers that fear has curdled into rumor and rebellion. Kendrick's disappearance has become a symbol of doubt, feeding the belief that the asteroid may never strike, while a secret Brotherhood of Atonement may be deliberately spreading disbelief to trap millions on Earth. From the wary officials of New York to armed holdouts in deserted Pennsylvania and violent opportunists near Morristown and Pittsburgh, Wales must navigate a civilization unraveling between prophecy and skepticism. With time running out and the truth about Kendrick still hidden, he races to restore faith before doomsday arrives. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
