Letter 44 6: The End - Charles Soule
Tax included.
The Builders are angry. Not only have they gone back on their promise to save 666 people from Earth's destruction, now they're coming for the rest of the Clarke crew, crash-landed on Mars.
For eons, the Builders have worked to eradicate a force known only as The End--a planet-killing, solar system-devouring wave of energy that travels at the speed of light. But now the crew of the Clarke has destroyed their only means of escape.
On Earth, President Stephen Blades knows none of this, except that the Earth will be destroyed. Which means his next choices--his last choices--won't just be the most important of his career. The choices he makes will decide the fate of mankind.
