"The Last Coming" a beautiful masterpiece written by Andrew Grey, brings to fiction the Last days of humankind. Peter, the main character, is an ordinary man who is chosen to stand against a murderous gang of beasts. At a height of nearly 14 feet, these beasts do not hesitate to rip humans apart and burn them to ashes. The battle of Peter that starts shyly from a dream makes quickly its progression into a horrifying reality that will not leave the readers emotionally untouched. But, if one rapidly concludes that the goal of the book is simply to entertain its audience with a new story, then one should think twice.
