Twenty-something marine biologist Jules has turned his apartment into an underground lab and bunker to survive the end of life on earth as we know it. Dead sure that a comet is due to hit the planet in fewer than ten minutes, Jules has a plan to repopulate the human race--he's invited journalist Jo over for a hookup that promises "sex to change the world." But Jo, "an appealingly ferocious feminist," has no intention of being stuck underground with a geeky madman for an doomsday dating game. So begins a sensational twist on the bedroom farce that is an uproariously funny mix of smarts, sex and social satire. Nachtrieb is a writer with the rare ability to keep you laughing and guessing as his characters smack up against huge philosophical and scientific questions like "How did we get here?" and "Where the dang are we heading?"
