First edition/first printing in Very Good+ condition with remainder mark to bottom edge in Very Good dust-jacket with two inch closed tear to upper front; In this dark and prescient novel, Paul Erdman tells the story of a country on the brink of ruin. The last days of America are a time of great uncertainty and fear. Political chaos and social upheaval have created a sense of instability that threatens the nation's foundations. The economy is in shambles, and the population is growing increasingly restless. Meanwhile, the environment is being ravaged by pollution and global warming. As the country begins to unravel, Erdman asks probing questions about the nature of democracy, the role of religion in society, and the meaning of citizenship.This novel is a prophetic exploration of the consequences of political and social instability, and an unflinching look at the dangers of unchecked consumerism and environmental destruction. It is a tale of a nation on the cusp of a great change, and of the ultimate cost of failure.; Remainder; 8vo; FSA .
