Despite the alien's best efforts, the so-called Little Nudge has failed, and the rogue planet Pipnonia is once again on a collision course with Earth. It's time for the "Big Bump," the alien's last-ditch effort to save Earth and its inhabitants from total annihilation. But first it pressures Ranger Jace Kuliak to accompany Deut Prophecy, the Thirteenth Apostle, on her mission to Pipnonia to preach to its doomed population.

Meanwhile, civil society is disintegrating around the world. Vera Tetlin, the popular governor of Alaska, and her family are on the run from agents of the Antichrist. And Doomsday Preppers from the Lower 48 are seeking refuge in the little ghost town of McHardy, Alaska. Among them is a petty tyrant and racist who wants the town for himself.

Things are heating up - literally.

Recensioner i media

what especially makes marusek's book so absorbing is that big questions of galactic import are being faced by a cast of engaging, complex characters who live in, work near, retreat to, or descend upon a quirky village in alaska. 

- Boing Boing 


alaska. aliens. the anti- christ. awesome! marusek is in full form with this curve- ball tale about ets, extrem- ists, snowmobile chases and the meaning of life. Upon This Rock feels like The Puppet Masters crossed with Hitch- hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It's snarky, mind-blowing, wild and fun. Thoroughly engrossing. 

-jeff carlson, bestselling author of The Frozen Sky 


marusek could be the one sci- fi writer in a million with the potential to make an increas- ingly indifferent audience care about the genre again 

-The New York Times Book Review 


warmly embrace your dear ones and say goodbye to

the intellectual comfort of your existence. welcome to mchardy, alaska, december 2012. . . Upon This Rock: Book 1 - First Contact is a stroke of genius! 

- L'paule d'Orion 


david marusek is one of the best-kept secrets of science fiction, a wild talent with a gibson-grade imagination and marvelous prose, and a keen sense of human drama that makes it all go. 

-cory doctorow 


marusek's writing is fero- ciously smart, simultaneously horrific and funny, as he forces readers to stretch their imaginations and sympa- thies. much of the fun in the story is in the telling rather than its destination . . . excit- ing and wonderful. 

-Publishers Weekly 


"david marusek is an extraor- dinarily gifted new writer, with unique ears and eyes . . . brims over with imaginative extrapolations." 

-Seattle-Post Intelligencer
