Stories about the end of everything.

In this powerful collection of short stories, humans come face to face, again and again, with endings.

In "The Dark Age," a new father takes a forever-long journey in the wrong direction, leaving behind everyone he’s ever known. In "The Caretaker," a lonely woman keeping watch over an empty space station witnesses humankind’s final day. In "Onyx," a reluctant widower abandons home to become an astronaut. In "Wolf Skin," a studious boy transforms into something primal as civilization unravels around him. In "The Last Rail-Rider," a stowaway rides the rails straight to the collapse of the universe. In "Nebulae," an operative searches for a wanted woman at the outer reaches of the solar system. And in "The Winter Lands," an elderly veteran braves his past to live his dream, just once.
