A Rapture is slowly taking up the world's best people. Larry's no saint. Selling insurance policies for post-Rapture pet care seems like an easy income stream that will keep his mother in beer and pretzels.
Larry needs a job to keep his mother in beer and pretzels, but no one is hiring in the uneasy days surrounding a Rapture. As the world slowly gives up its best people, Larry thinks selling insurance policies for pet care could be a low-effort income stream. His work draws in his cousins and a history-mad teenager, who all need food and shelter.
But Larry isn't the only one seeking new clients. A left-behind televangelist craves a new empire, and Larry and his friends are in her way.
When a man with a dodgy past, little impulse control, and highly flexible morals creates a new life, what could go wrong?
"Rice prioritizes the novel's comedic tone, but occasional moments of sincerity soften its wry edge. . . A large and colorful cast of characters fills the novel, and their experiences and coping mechanisms in the rapture-altered world give the story a welcome variety of perspectives." - Kirkus Reviews
