award-winning authors
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed."-- First Corinthians 15:52
From New York Times bestselling author, Harry Turtledove,
critically-acclaimed novelist, James Morrow, and Nebula Award finalist,
Cat Rambo, comes a masterful anthology of three sensational novellas
depicting a dark fictional future of the United States.
And the Last Trump Shall Sound is a prophetic warning about where we,
as a nation, may be headed. Mike Pence is President of the United States
after years of divisive, dogmatic control by Donald Trump. The country
is in turmoil as the Republicans have strengthened their stronghold on
Congress, increasing their dominance. And with the support of the
Supreme Court, more conservative than ever, State governments become
more marginalized by the authoritarian rule of the Federal government.
There are those who cannot abide by what they view as a betrayal of the
nation's founding principles. Once united communities break down and the
unthinkable suddenly becomes the only possible solution: the end of the
Union.
The authors' depiction of a country that is both unfamiliar and yet
unnervingly all too realistic, make you realize the frightening possible
consequences of our increased polarization--a dire warning to all of us
of where we may be headed unless we can learn to come together again.
