The end of the world may have been predicted by many, but in "Apocalypso," it's a disco extravaganza. A millennia-old cult believes that the only way to bring about the end times is through the power of dance, and they might just be right. Rankin explores this apocalyptic toe-tapping phenomenon through the eyes of a disenchanted journalist, who finds himself in the middle of the most melodious end-of-days scenario.
It's as if the Book of Revelations took a detour through Saturday Night Fever. If you're an SFcrowsnest reader who believes that if the world must end, it should end not with a whimper but with a boogie, "Apocalypso" will have you dancing in the aisles—or at least chuckling at the absurdity of it all.
