The Last Town on Earth has created quite a stir in the publishing world and was optioned almost immediately by Dreamworks for a major motion picture. In this remarkable debut novel from Thomas Mullen, an idyllic hamlet is torn apart by fear and paranoia during the 1918 flu pandemic.
Nestled in the quiet woods of the Pacific Northwest, the town of Commonwealth is a haven for the loggers who live there, until the flu starts striking down entire surrounding villages. When the residents of Commonwealth vote to quarantine themselves, armed guards are posted at the one road leading to town. But then a disheveled—and apparently sick—soldier approaches begging for food and shelter. Shots are fired, and soon Commonwealth is plunged into turmoil.
With its examination of community and patriotism, The Last Town on Earth is a timely allegory for our modern society.
