"With the doomsday asteroid looming, Detective Hank Palace has found sanctuary in the woods of New England, secure in a well-stocked safe house with other onetime members of the Concord police force. But with time ticking away before the asteroid makes landfall, Hank's safety is only relative, and his only relative--his sister Nico--isn't safe. Soon, it's clear that there's more than one earth-shattering revelation on the horizon, and it's up to Hank to solve the puzzle before time runs out . . . for everyone" --

Person who recommended this was right to suggest that the wrap up is right and justified. Excellent reading during these months of lingering doubt and increased mortality.

I've enjoyed the single-minded investigations of Hank Palace, resolutely sticking to his job while society disintegrates around him in the face of an impending and world-ending meteor strike, and World of Trouble rounds out the trilogy nicely. Ben Winters has done a tremendous job balancing light and dark throughout the series and he nails the ending, delivering something that manages to be both uplifting and consistent with the journey we've tagged along on. It's a really clever and well-crafted piece of writing. I can't recommend this series highly enough.
