Industry Reviews

"A page turner...[Varley's] prose style is accessible without being slick or dumbed-down; this is a literary novel with a potboiler plot, easily digested but not insultingly simple. He builds a thought-through, realistic world, then explores how his cataclysm would change it."--The AV Club "A captivating page-turner that offers one man's look at an alternative end of the world. Slow Apocalypse will satisfy fans of science-fiction, literary thrillers and mysteries alike."--The Maine Edge

"Gripping, terrifying, and convincing."--Locus

"An entertaining post-apocalyptic thriller."--Genre Go Round Reviews
