THE ARREST.

Edition: First printing.

New York: Ecco Press / Harper Collins, (2020) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - "An utterly original post-collapse yarn about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car. The Arrest isnÕt post-apocalypse. It isnÕt a dystopia. It isnÕt a utopia. ItÕs just what happens when much of what we take for granted - cars, guns, computers, and airplanes, for starters - quits working. Before the Arrest, Sandy Duplessis had a reasonably good life as a screenwriter in L.A. An old college friend and writing partner, the charismatic and malicious Peter Todbaum, had become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. Now, post-Arrest, nothing is what it was. Sandy, who calls himself Journeyman, has landed in rural Maine. There he assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm. But then Todbaum shows up in an extraordinary vehicle: a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor. . . Written with unrepentant joy and shot through with just the right amount of contemporary dread, this is speculative fiction at its absolute finest." 307 pp. ISBN: 978-0062938787.

Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket.
