Scott Cole crafts a harrowing narrative where reality fractures completely, plunging an entire city into a Monday morning of bizarre and violent madness. The book excels at capturing the sheer panic of a population turning against itself, balancing grotesque imagery with a distinct touch of dark humor. By pairing relentless societal collapse with the surreal presence of descending meteors, the story effectively highlights external forces entirely beyond human control. It works wonderfully for readers who prefer immersive, uncompromising explorations of human psychology stripped of social norms, though it will likely deter anyone seeking comfort or a neat resolution. Ultimately, it delivers a stark, thought-provoking examination of how quickly collective reason can fail.
