    I am curious about this one though asteroids-of-doom books make me a little wary. Still this one seems compelling.

    I have The Last Policeman on my shelf to be read. It made the Locus top 10 books for last year in science fiction. I really want to read it, and soon! your review as well as a few others have really enjoyed it. Apparently some humour in this as well, so I am hoping it will live up to it all now. I think you are right, it’s a fascinating look at the moment when society breaks down, who keeps to society’s rules? and should anyone? Love your post of this!

    I didn’t like the police when I was a kid as my father always told bad things about them. However I decided to learn more about police and I’m about to https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/diversity/ . I think that I’ll find answers to my questions.
