Word gets out that humanity is doomed: a giant meteorite has been headed toward the Earth for decades, and the government is ill-equipped to stop it. On the final day of human life, Sean opts to hit the road and reunite with a lost love. He encounters a mad society that is rapidly shredding the trappings of civilization." — abridged from the book's back cover copy
