Publisher Description
"Worst Vacation Ever—Five Stars, Would Recommend." — Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
White Lotus meets Kevin Wilson in this whip-smart social satire about a man who finds himself trapped on an island resort after the sun explodes, and suddenly must choose whether to save himself from the chaos, or help the fellow guests make it off the island alive…
Vacation Checklist: Pack swim trunks. Apply sunscreen. Survive the apocalypse?
Professional underachiever Dan Foster is finally taking a vacation. Sure, his life has been average at best, and yeah, he’s never quite lived up to his potential. But after a few Miller Lites in paradise with his girlfriend, Mara, things are starting to look up.
Then the sun explodes.
With the island resort suddenly plunged into darkness (he really should’ve sprung for the travel insurance), Dan’s holiday goes from bad to worse when elite guests stage a coup and commandeer supplies. As temperatures drop and class tensions rise, revolution begins to brew on the island, and Dan accidentally becomes a beacon of hope for the surviving vacationers. But when one six-person plane is discovered that could get them back to the mainland, Dan realizes he has a choice to make.
Does he escape the island with Mara? Or does he stay and fight to become the most unlikely hero of the end of the world?
Customer Reviews
End of the world lord of the flies
What happens when the sun vanishes/explodes on your Bahama vacation? Do you fall in line with a Beach Bod tyrant or start to think of yourself as a rebel? That’s what Dan has to decide when forced into a leadership position. Fun, albeit not scientifically accurate, end of the world novel where people have to become who they really are to make greatness happen.
