What if the world were coming to an end, and it was your fault?
Dr. Ben Appelstein and his team of students unwittingly unleash an ancient plague on the modern world, derailing their promising lives and threatening to extinguish life as we know it. Against a backdrop of war and disease, four friends fight through transformative journies both personal and monumental: Rich, a brilliant gay athlete struggling for esteem; Wendy, a querulous coed caught between two men and an uncertain future; Halfus, a quiet hero with a tragic past; and Ernie, a fun-loving charmer with aspirations of grandeur. Bound together and pulled apart, they struggle to save all they hold dear from impending doom. PWG is the critically-acclaimed, character-driven epic novel about the best and worst tendencies of humankind. Tackling the difficult themes of terrorism, abuse, and mental illness, and providing insight into history, science, politics, and psychology, the novel is a must-read for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the complexities of today's world. 10th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist " A]t once a fierce academic thriller and a powerful meditation on humanity...
