Reviews
" The Gone World will horrify and fascinate readers in equal measure. It is also a primer on cutting-edge theories about time travel and astrophysics. . . Prepare to be dazzled." -- Pittsburg Post-Gazette "In Shannon Moss, Sweterlitsch has created a protagonist reminiscent of Clarice Starling--fearless, damaged, driven--and placed her in the most original novel I've come across in years. I simply loved The Gone World. Set against a murder investigation spanning multiple realties, this is big-idea fiction that defies genre in the best possible way. Epic and mind-bending in scope, it carries the reader through on beautifully rendered, human moments."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy "Another visionary blend of science fiction and mystery. Set in Western Pennsylvania, an NCIS special agent is called on to solve a mass murder, only to be caught up in a time-travel vortex of deceit and intrigue." -- Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "A fascinating blend that doesn't skimp on the criminal investigation or the [sci fi]... Describing much more than [the] simple setup would rob the reader of the trippy experience of navigating the time-travel intricacies of this nail-biting speculative thriller." -- Library Journal (starred review) "A mind-blowing fusion of science fiction, thriller, existential horror, and apocalyptic fiction...The power of this novel is two-fold: Sweterlitsch's intricately plotted storyline will keep readers on the edges of their seats until the very last pages, and his extended use of bleak imagery coupled with his lyrical writing style make for an intense and unforgettable read...This darkly poetic and profoundly disturbing glimpse into the potential last days of humankind will surely haunt readers' dreams long after the book is finished."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "At once futuristic, nightmarish and hard-boiled. Once again Tom Sweterlitsch takes readers to another world and back again. Take the trip."--Stewart O'Nan "Compelling. . . The multiple futures and the contemporary setting showcase world-building at its finest, while the characterizations are thought provoking and grittily realistic. . . A page-turner from beginning to end!" -- RT Book Reviews "In a word: Whoa! Edge-of-your-seat crime fiction that bends both time and mind. Think True Detective meets 12 Monkeys . Throw in the end of the world and you can begin to imagine where this gut-twisting tale will take you. This is cross-genre fiction at its best."--Sylvain Neuvel, author of Sleeping Giants, Praise for Tomorrow and Tomorrow : "A disquieting vision... Tomorrow and Tomorrow is literary sci-fi, focusing on the picture, like Henry James, not the frame that defines it, like H.G. Wells." -- The Wall Street Journal " Tomorrow and Tomorrow crosses the streams between dystopian nightmares--enveloping both the invasive total-surveillance state of Minority Report and the post-nuclear apocalypse of The Road . It's quite unusual for a first-time writer to have such a command of so many literary styles. Inherently cinematic...It's fiction, of course, but just close enough to our reality to be disturbing." -- Pittsburgh Tribune " Tomorrow and Tomorrow is many things: a near-future cyberpunk thriller in the tradition of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling; a funny, gloomy meditation on technology and mental illness in the tradition of Phillip K. Dick and J.G. Ballard; a cynically outrageous mystery less in the tradition of Chandler than that of James Ellroy. A bleak, gorgeous romp through a pornographic and political American id. If books like this are the future of fiction, I'm not afraid for books at all." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Simultaneously trippy and hardboiled, Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a rich, absorbing, relentlessly inventive mindfuck, a smart, dark noir.... Sweterlitsch's debut is a wild mashup of Raymond Chandler, Philip K. Dick, and William S. Burroughs, and, like their work, utterly visionary." --Stewart O'Nan, " The Gone World has already created quite a stir. . . . The book probes questions about consciousness and crime that call to mind, among others, True Detective and 12 Monkeys ."-- EW.com " The Gone World will horrify and fascinate readers in equal measure. It is also a primer on cutting-edge theories about time travel and astrophysics...Prepare to be dazzled."-- Pittsburg Post-Gazette "In Shannon Moss, Sweterlitsch has created a protagonist reminiscent of Clarice Starling--fearless, damaged, driven--and placed her in the most original novel I've come across in years.

Once again Tom Sweterlitsch takes readers to another world and back again. Take the trip."--Stewart O'Nan "Compelling...The multiple futures and the contemporary setting showcase world-building at its finest, while the characterizations are thought provoking and grittily realistic...A page-turner from beginning to end!"-- RT Book Reviews "[An] investigation into the gruesome murder of a Navy SEAL's family takes some science fictional turns. . . Sweterlitsch juggles all of these balls masterfully. His Moss feels fully realized and the plot is propulsive." -- Locus Magazine "In a word: Whoa! Edge-of-your-seat crime fiction that bends both time and mind. Think True Detective meets 12 Monkeys . Throw in the end of the world and you can begin to imagine where this gut-twisting tale will take you.

Synopsis
"I promise you have never read a story like this."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter Inception meets True Detective in this science fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind... Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family--and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship U.S.S. Libra --a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence. Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself. Luminous and unsettling, The Gone World bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.
