What if the end of the world didn't begin with fire and brimstone... but with a countdown?
On an ordinary Tuesday morning, every screen on Earth turns white.
A simple message appears.
SEVEN DAYS REMAINING.
No one knows who sent it. Governments blame hackers. Scientists search for answers. Television fills with experts who confidently explain nothing.
Then a bearded man appears at the finish line of a race in Paris, apologises for being late because of the traffic, and politely informs the world that things are about to change.
As the countdown continues, ordinary people are forced to confront the lives they've built, the choices they've made, and the quiet truths they've spent years avoiding. A warehouse worker with family regrets. A Vatican cardinal whose faith is suddenly no longer theoretical. A ruthless trader discovering that some profits cost more than money. And countless others whose stories intertwine as humanity prepares for whatever waits when the timer reaches zero.
Blending sharp wit, heartfelt humanity, and thought-provoking satire, Sorry I'm Late: A Layman's Guide to the Apocalypse is a fresh and unforgettable take on the end of the world. It's less about destruction than revelation-less about how the world ends than about what people choose to do when they finally see themselves clearly.
Funny, moving, and deeply hopeful, this is an apocalyptic novel unlike any you've read before.
The countdown has begun.
Seven days.
What would you do?
