It's four days and counting. Not for the baby. But for the end of the world. Evidence: Haydon Brock, a godless television star has suddenly traded his Hollywood fame for salvation. A prophetic hermit crab is embarking on an unfathomable cross-country quest. Planes are dropping from the sky. And the president and first lady disappear. No omen is too inexplicable to Milton. He's learned for a fact that our planet is one vast asylum for the incurably insane. And its cosmic guardians are about to close down the whole damn thing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Milton receives one more premonition: to seek out Haydon now holed up somewhere in Marfa. To what end Milton hasn't a clue. To find out, Milton, Rica, and their best friend head west across an increasingly cataclysmic landscape of inter-dimensional time travelers, Jesus clones, sleep-deprived monks, ghosts, and angels in an epic and manic quest to outrun the last days on Earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining humor, philosophical inquiry and an unforgettable cast of characters, \"this sharp-witted satire\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e) \"is a future classic, and people will be reading [it] decades from now.
