Mars in Retrograde

di James Worth (Autore)

Nascent Night Press, 2026

Marshall is on his vigilante shit and everyone else is uncomfortably aware of it. It's a poorly kept secret in his small Georgia town that if you ask Marshall to kill your abusive parent he'll do it and hardly ask any questions. He's too focused on the end of the world to ponder the ethics-though if you ask him directly, surviving the apocalypse isn't really the priority. It's just good to be prepared. When a twelve year old kid named Beaver approaches Marshall to inquire his services, Marshall makes the dual mistake of getting attached to the kid and thinking himself untouchable. When the consequences of his careless actions finally catch up to him, Marshall is forced to skip town with Beaver, the selectively mute unrequited love of his life, Jamie, and their mutual friend, Lana, who has inexplicably decided to quit cold turkey and choose sobriety on the open road. Searching for free will amidst the silent collapse of surveillance state America, a series of seemingly random events will challenge each of their understanding of what it means to be good, which choices are ours and which are made for us. From a convenience store run by children to a strange diner ready to collapse into the earth to an eco-sustainable cult they each swear they're too smart to get indoctrinated into, Marshall and his friends must decide who they are, what they'd like to cling to at the end of the world-and most importantly, if it's even worth surviving. This second edition features new cover art, as well as a foreword by the author and an updated acknowledgements page.
