The Gone-Away World
The Gone-Away World by Nick Harhaway is a sardonic romp through Armageddon.
A conspiracy-fueled mystery replete with ninjas, mimes and cannibal dogs; and a horrifying glimpse of a Lovecraftian near-future. Go-away bombs have erased entire sections of reality from the face of the Earth. A nameless soldier together with his best friend Gonzo Lubitsch, a professional hero and troubleshooter, witness firsthand the unimaginable aftermath outside the Livable Zone. With the fate of humankind in the balance, the pair becomes involved in an unlikely and potentially catastrophic love triangle. As the son of legendary thriller writer, John Le Carre, Nick Hathaway has big footsteps to follow and in his debut novel he succeeds superbly.
