Erie Chaisson, Author, Cosmic Evolution
Professor of Astronomy and Physics, Tufts University Director, Wright Center for Science EducationAPPEARING LIVE AT THE FINAL TEST is an intense hybrid of contemporary real-world drama and mythic science fiction about a black newsstand operator, his wife, and three neighbors in a Brooklyn-like neighborhood, whose lives take a cosmic punch from a nuclear bomb threat that launches them on an eerie and spellbinding journey.
APPEARING LIVE AT THE FINAL TEST is a genre-breaking story unlike any other. Its scenes range from a scarily realistic depiction of an urban nuclear event to mind-stretching intergalactic travel -- all related in the author's savvy, wisecracking, original and sometimes hilarious hyperbolic voice.
