Description
A violent and gripping novel, Kingdom Come is a dystopian tour de force that holds up a mirror to suburban mind rot. When Richard Pearson's father is gunned down in a shopping mall, the prime suspect is released without charge, and Richard's suspicions are aroused. As he investigates the mystery, he uncovers a neo-fascist world at the Metro-Centre mall, where charismatic speakers whip up the masses into a state of unsustainable frenzy. Riots frequently terrorize the complex, immigrant communities are attacked by hooligans, and sports events mushroom into jingoistic political rallies. Ballard's portrayal of a society on the brink of chaos is both thought-provoking and unsettling. This is a gripping and thought-provoking read that explores the darker forces at work beneath the gloss of consumerism and flag-waving patriotism. With its insidious twists and turns, Kingdom Come is a compelling and unsettling novel that challenges readers to confront the darker aspects of human nature.
