Extraordinarily enjoyable, The Great Unmaking is the grand finale of Nelsons epic adventure. Its also hands down the most ingenious take on the apocalypse narrative that I have ever read. This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller. * Moisés Naķm, author and contributing editor to The Atlantic * So clearly and forcefully presented that readers will find it hard to put the book down. Nelson has outdone himself. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * In The Great Unmaking, Nelson crafts an adrenaline-charged, white-knuckle thriller that is sure to leave you breathless. Fans of Crichton, Rollins, and Crouch will love this superb and final installment of the Course of Empire series. * Andrews & Wilson, Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of the Tier One series * I came to The Great Unmaking as a fresh reader. Three hundred fifty pulse-pounding pages later, I closed the book, thoroughly convinced of Nelsons mastery of a fever-pitch plotNelsons series explores the lines between pastoral idealism and the inevitable gluttony and decay of human civilizationHigh-paced, plot-driven, and brimming with actionA thinking-persons military techno-thrillerWhats not to love? * Strand Magazine *
