"...absorbing tale about an imminent apocalypse." -- Kirkus Reviews WHEN ALL LIFE BECOMES COLLATERAL DAMAGE Inside the mind of his protagonist -- a nurse -- firsttime novelist Steve Schroeder challenges the reader to ponder this: what would I think and feel if I was separated from the people I love in the very last days of planet Earth? In passages reminiscent of Albert Camus' existential musings, this unnamed everywoman at last makes peace with the life she's led.
