Add to basketOne man with highly flexible morals and a dodgy past.
His mother, in dire need of beer and pretzels.
A history-mad teenager in search of a job.
And cats. Lots of cats.
As the alleged man of the house, Larry has to make ends meet, one way or another.
Selling post-Rapture pet care insurance seems simple enough.
Until Larry crosses paths with a left-behind televangelist looking to carve a new domain. Out of his hide, if he lets her.
Review: “A large and colorful cast of characters fills the novel, and their experiences and coping mechanisms in the rapture-altered world give the story a welcome variety of perspectives.” – Kirkus Reviews
Why this book?
“In a world where Up has become Down, I felt it was time for a look at the history of the Bible and the techniques used by human predators to accumulate power. How do we survive a world built to keep us sidelined? Larry is a crude, lazy guy with impulse control issues and a soft spot for animals. Those in power are not looking after him, but he’s not alone. His friends, family and his own common sense make a difference."
About the Author
Ellen King Rice usually writes mysteries with mycological elements, but recent political events have drawn her out of the woods to admire the resilience of the people of the Pacific Northwest. Call it a Menippean satire for the modern era, or a rollicking tale of imperfect people surviving in uncertain times, this is a story of doggedness and pickles.
