"End Time" is the first novel by G.A. Matiasz, an original voice of slashing, thought provoking style. Civil War rages across the former Soviet Union. Red hot embers of that conflict are spreading tensions around the globe.
The United States is fighting a sophisticated, high tech counterinsurgency war in Southern Mexico, against a popular revolution claiming the tradition of Zapata. A military draft has been reinstated, and a strong antiÐwar movement flourishes on American streets.
The city of Oakland rises in class anger and becomes the 21st century's Paris Commune. In Alabaster, a small town north of San Francisco, the novelÕs protagonist, Greg Kovinski, and a group of antiÐwar college students gain possession of enough bombÐgrade riemanium to build a nuclear weapon several times more powerful than the one detonated over Nagasaki. Against the backdrop of civil unrest, Greg and his friends struggle to 'do the right thing' with their deadly power.
