Thy Kingdom Come contains twenty stories. Ten tell the story of a young boy growing up in Plainview, Nebraska, a small town in the very heart of America. Through his eyes, we see changes - political and social - sweep the American landscape, and transform his idyllic youth into a darker, more ambiguous adulthood.
The other ten stories range across Europe, charting the stories of ordinary people caught up in a nuclear Armageddon. Religious fanatics commit acts of hideous terrorism in a bid to bring about the Second Coming. The stories are terrifying, heartbreaking, shocking and even beautiful.
Fans of Simon Morden's Philip K. Dick Award-winning Metrozone will be further delighted, as the events of Thy Kingdom Come also serve as a prequel to the adventures of Samuil Petrovitch. Readers new to Simon Morden's work will find this haunting stand-alone collection to be a perfect place to start the series.
This edition of Thy Kingdom Come features a new foreword and afterword by the author, an introduction by Robert Jackson Bennett and art by award-winning illustrator Joey Hi-Fi. The book is limited to 75 copies. Each is signed by the author and comes with tipped-in bookplates signed by Robert Jackson Bennett and Joey Hi-Fi.
