    [synopsis] => End Time: Notes on the Apocalypse is a prescient, near-future thriller. Written in a slashing, evocative style, End Time received rave reviews in underground and small press circles in 1994.Greg Kovinski, the novel's protagonist, lives in interesting times. War and civil war rage across the former Soviet Union and much of the globe. The United States is fighting a sophisticated high tech counterinsurgency war in southern Mexico, against a popular revolution claiming the tradition of Zapata, in order to preserve the North American free trade zone. In Alabaster, a small town north of San Francisco, draft-aged Greg, and a group of anti-war college students, gain possession of enough bomb grade riemanium to build a nuclear weapon several times more powerful than the one detonated over Nagasaki. As Greg struggles to "do the right thing" with his deadly power, friends turn out to be thieves, civil unrest explodes, and the City of Oakland rises in revolution to become the 21st century's Paris Commune."End Time is a kick-ass thriller of the near-future political edge; fast-paced and always surprising. This hardball trip to Looking Glass Land is reminiscent of the books of Neil Shulman and Shea/Wilson, and should find an enthusiastic audience."-eluki bes shahar, author of the Hellflower trilogy"A compulsively readable thriller combined with a very smart meditation on the near-future of anarchism. End Time proves once again that Sci-Fi is our only literature of ideas."-Hakim Bey, author of T.A.Z."G.A. Matiasz has created a charged, political, and very readable novel in End Time, jump-cutting P.O.V. from character to character, pulling the reader into the plot as each character, quick as a Polaroid, develops into a fascinating persona."-Factsheet Five
