Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. "The Apocalypse Triptych" will tell their stories.
Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and best-selling author Hugh Howey, The Apocalypse Triptych is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. The End is Nigh focuses on life before the apocalypse. The End Is Now turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And The End Has Come explores life after the apocalypse. The End Is Nigh is about the match. The End Has Come is about what will rise from the ashes. The End Is Now is about the conflagration.

What made the experience of listening to The End Is Now the most enjoyable?
Most of the writers who contributed pieces to the first in this series continued those stories here in the second; often those stories picked up decades later and were told from the POV of completely different characters, though, which had a lot of impact on which stories continued to interest me and which didn't.Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?
Yes-- most of these narrators are excellent, though Stephanie Grossman reads like a sixth-grade student called upon to read aloud from a chemistry textbook. She is laughably horrible as a narrator. My 9yo granddaughter could inflect more emotion and interest.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Makes a simple nuclear winter look like a day at the spa."Very solid continuation of the trilogy.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It *mostly* was. The two things I noticed were (1) these stories didn't really follow the theme of series as well as those in the first book - there were some great stories that really didn't have much to do with a 'the world is ending' anthology. (2) the readers were REALLY all over the place! Some were really good, and some were so awful I just couldn't listen to that story.What other book might you compare The End Is Now to and why?
There are a couple other apocalypse theme anthologies on Audible, but really, it's compares well with any sci-fi story collection.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Various narrators, the quality was really inconsistent.Did The End Is Now inspire you to do anything?
I may start saving more canned food and fresh water .. :-)Any additional comments?
nopeHit and miss anthology

There were a few stories in the End is Nigh that I was disappointed to find didn't have a sequel in this one, the End is Now. But there were also a lot of delightful stories that didn't have a prequel in the End is Nigh, as well. So, give and take, ya know?
Anyway, if you enjoyed the first book at all, you'll definitely enjoy this one, but maybe to a greater or lesser degree depending on which of the individual stories really captivated you.
If you've not read the End is Nigh, that's okay---none of the stories that are sequels need to have their prequels read first. Rather than being direct sequels (for the most part) they are stand alone stories that happen to take place in a sequential order within a given setting.
