The Last Policeman by Ben H. WintersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This tale takes a rather different tack to apocalyptic events than most such stories.
The protagonist is a (dedicated) policeman, in a world with a known expiry date: an asteroid is on a collision course with the Earth, and while it may not wipe out all life, it's certainly going to put an end to human civilization. So, many people are happy to let civilization go early, including policemen, and the load falls on the few who stay on their jobs.
When you know the world is going to end, can you—should you—hold it together as long as possible?
I really enjoyed this series. I thought it very well done.
