Ben H. Winters concludes his Last Policeman series with
World of Trouble. As you may recall from reviews of the earlier
entries in the series (The Last Policeman & Countdown City) the setting of this series involves a comet that
is about to make impact with Earth --- an extinction level comet. In this book we have reached the last couple
of days before impact. Our hero is still
coping with the disaster by trying to be a policeman. In this book he’s looking for his sister who
has disappeared. The setting of these
books and the resulting world they depict remain incredibly sad in this book
and the series ends with this book because the world ends with this book.
An interesting book recommended to those who can cope with a
really hopeless setting & ultimate fate for the book’s characters.
