I also love the concept of including a Last Night-type device as further tribute to DS 6 degrees. The descriptions of both Ray and Fraser's individual experiences in the impending end of time, their decisions, just adds so much to a beautifully rich characterisation as well as a rather harrowing mood build-up (the countdown motif...gah!). Even though this an angst entry, I find the incremental reflection by each character on the relationship, culminating in the kiss (finally), terrifically romantic.
This is such a great piece. With all the small details, it reminds me of this lovely but very angsty apocalypse book I read a while back, The Last Ship.

So who was this book by - and if I order it, will I curse your name through my tears or love you forever for pointing it out?
And thank you so much for your fantastic comments. I really appreciate them.
