'A master of storytelling, Dan Carlin uses vivid detail
and intuitive empathy to imagine what it was like to live through
the end of the world. He takes us on a sometimes
terrifying journey through the past that offers a glimpse of our
possible future. Carlin's engaging and accessible style
invites us to ponder the rise and fall of civilizations and ask
where we may be headed. The end of the world is not merely
a catastrophe that waits for us down the road; it is a ghost that
haunts the places we've already been' Mike Duncan, author of
The Storm Before the Storm
'This is the perfect thought experiment for anyone who believes the
world is doomed, if only to remind them of one essential reality:
the world has always, always seemed doomed. But it's also a great
compendium for everyone else, mostly due to Dan Carlin's
supernatural skill as an animator of history. It feels odd
to classify a book about barbarians and flu pandemics and the
morality of nuclear war as fun, but that's the single best
modifier for The End is Always Near. It's an apocalyptic
discotheque' Chuck Klosterman, author of But What If
We're Wrong?
