This is the second in a trilogy by Ben H. Winters about a policeman in Concord, NH after it has been learned that an asteroid will strike the earth, and probably lead to end of the human race. The first book was pretty good, describing Detective Henry Palace’s time as a detective for the Concord Police Department. In this story, Palace has taken early retirement from the police force and tries to find the husband of an ex-girlfriend. He also enlists the aid of his radical younger sister, and that leads to additional adventures. During his investigations, he gets himself shot with a staple gun, and with a sniper rifle. Miraculously, he survives and, ultimately, solves he his cases. All but one, which is left dangling at the end of the book.The story is very dystopian. All of human civilization is degenerating into chaos, but Henry Palace tries to keep a toehold on reality and civilized behavior. The descriptions are easy to believe, knowing what we already know about the human condition. The author did deal with it, however, by having one of his former-detective friends deal with it.The first half of the story drags a bit, but becomes more gripping as the story progresses. The ending was a bit surprising, and it left me mildly unsatisfied. This book was not as good as the first of the series, The Last Policeman, but it still was a pretty good effort. Good enough for an award of three stars, at any rate.

It is now 77 days to the End of the World. Detective Henry Palace, recently retired from the Concord Police Department, is waiting out the arrival of asteroid Maya with his dog, Houdini, when he is approached by his former babysitter, Martha Milano nee Cavitone, about the disappearance of her husband, Brett. Brett is described by everyone as a good guy, so why would he abandon his wife and go "bucket list." Henry agrees to take on the case for Martha to find her husband and ask him to come home.Thereafter, Henry is on his mission with single-minded fixation, even though it takes him to the crazy, rapidly-emerging anarchic world of virtual governmental collapse. We travel with Henry to the headquarters of Homeland Security in Concord to the "Free Republic" of New Hampshire University and back to Concord. The story is pulled along as Henry follows the clues to the ultimate conclusion.All along, of course, we are kept reminded of the imminent end of the world. What that means, or how total it will be, are still ambiguous, but the sense of hopelessness and a terminal event are felt as the survivors grow increasingly desperate. A recurrent theme is the question of why Henry is trying to solve a mystery which will never result in any criminal charges or improve anyone's happiness. The story offers some opportunities to explore some deep issues. For example:"Among my regrets about what has just unfolded is that Brett never did ask me why I had come to find him, why I cared. I had my answer all figured out. Because a promise is a promise, Officer Cavatone, and civilization is just a bunch of promises, that’s all it is. A mortgage, a wedding vow, a promise to obey the law, a pledge to enforce it. And now the world is falling apart, the whole rickety world, and every broken promise is a small rock tossed at the wooden side of its tumbling form."I think I liked this story better than the first. Henry is growing on me with his simple dedication and decency. I am also enjoying the development of this world of the end of days and the question of what would a person do in the face of utter meaninglessness. Winters pens some nice thoughts:"“You are a married man,” I say. I’m pressing my luck. He stares back at me in silence, impassive as a mountainside. “Your wife is confused. You’ve left her terrified and alone. You can’t just abandon your promises because the world is over.”And then there is this:“Where’s Brett, Henry?” says poor Martha, and I just tell her, I say, “He’s dead,” and she collapses to the ground on her knees, buries her face in her hands and wails, one long keening senseless syllable. That’s the end of the world right there for Martha Milano."The end of the world comes for all of us, just a bit differently for each of us.

I don't know how I ended up reading this series, but I'm glad I did. All three of the books were very entertaining. The main character, Palace, has a running interior dialog that carries the plot, the situation, and the characters along in a sympathetic but not maudlin way.The basic question of the series is how would people and societies react to the knowledge that the world is going to end in less than a year. What would you do as an individual and what effects of that would ripple through society.The author proposes several behaviors: suicide, "bucket listing,"denial, violence, religion, drugs, dissolution of marriage, abandonment of children, simply disappearing.Our guy, a detective in a smallish city in Vermont, sticks with his profession...as much as possible.In the first book, he doggedly pursues what he considers a murder investigation while his colleges interpret it as one of many, many recent suicides. In the second, he searches for a husband who has disappeared. In the the third, the apocalypse is imminent. He decides to search out his sister who has fallen in with a conspiracy theorist group claiming that the asteroid hurtling toward the Earth's destruction is actually some sort of government plot.In each of these endeavours, our hero meets significant challenges, physical, psychological, and moral. His resolution of each of these brings the reader along even when the story itself fails in some regards. There are certainly sections that are not believable, especially when viewed in light of events later in the books.I found myself reading the second book as soon as I finished the first, and the third as soon as I finished the second. And I like that the author completed the story in each book while leaving the reader (me) craving more. I personally hate getting to the end of a book and finding that I have to read the next one to find out what happens. This series does not do that.
