In Last Exit, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Max Gladstone
weaves American myths--the muscle car, the open road, the white-hatted
cowboy--into a deeply emotional tale.
When Zelda and her friends first met, in college, they believed they had
all the answers. They had figured out a big secret about how the world
worked and they thought that meant they could change things.
They failed. One of their own fell, to darkness and rot.
Ten years later, they've drifted apart, building lives for themselves,
families, fortunes. All but Zelda. She's still wandering the backroads
of the nation. She's still fighting monsters. She knows: the past isn't
over. It's not even past.
The road's still there. The rot's still waiting. They can't hide from it
any more. Because, at long last, their friend is coming home. And hell
is coming with her.
"A novel carved by hand out of salt and rock and bone. This is what the
Great American Novel wishes it could be: honest, furious, in
love."--Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Amal El-Mohtar
"[A] deliriously strange novel of alternate universes and
dysfunctional explorers. This gloriously metaphysical adventure will
stick with you long after you return to the so-called real world."--Hugo
and Nebula Award-winning author Charlie Jane Anders
