“If John Steinbeck had written a novel of a post-alien invasion, it might very well look like Edward Ashton’s After The Fall. It is a story of struggling to survive by wit, luck, and dogged determination. It is also equally as harrowing as it is hilarious—a balancing act that few dare try and even fewer can pull off. I didn’t want the book to end. I would’ve happily followed John and Martok anywhere. I miss them already.” —James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestseller of the Moonfall Saga

“The best buddy road trip dramedy about a guy and his bumbling alien overlord you’ll read all year. Bad decisions and deep existential questions co-exist on this thoroughly enjoyable quest to build a true found family—and maybe even a new sort of civilization.” —Tina Connolly, Hugo-nominated author of Ironskin

“Enormously engaging. Ashton carefully pieces together a fascinating world full of entertaining characters and intriguing mysteries.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author

“Classic Ashton, comedic, bizarre, and thoughtful in equal measure, poking at complicated questions of humanity and our own relationships with one another.” —Reactor

“[A] thoughtful, compelling story.” —Library Journal

“Ashton’s world-building is flawless, and his characters are delightful... With its unique take on the post-apocalyptic, alien-invasion themes and the unusual, sometimes buddy-comedy style relationship between its lead characters, the book will have Ashton’s regular readers cheering, and it’ll send newcomers looking for more books by this one-of-a-kind storyteller.” -Booklist
