Herc thought he had the perfect life: a great partner and a meaningful career as a psychotherapist–until his partner left him a week ago and Herc became too depressed to see his clients. When a random meteorite punched a tidy hole in his car’s engine, it seemed like the world had it in for him, but bumping into Pyotr, the handsome older man who’s moved in a couple of doors down and happens to study things like falling stars, things might be looking up for Herc–and more may be falling than the skies in this light-hearted, apocalyptic romance


Atom Yang had me at “light-hearted, apocalyptic romance.” In a brief 106 page novella, Yang brings together psychotherapist Hercules and Pyotr, a Slavic astrophysicist on the eve of ….. well, the destruction of life as we know it, courtesy of a huge meteor and the resulting tsunami. The cast of characters includes blonde Nestori, a gorgeous “fag stag” and widowed Pihla (“a suburban Madonna in pink) and her son Sami.

Rowboat and stars The resulting story is equal parts lyrical, unpredictable, beautiful, poignant, quirky, and poetic … with a touch of Douglas Adams. The love between Herc and Pyotr is rich and moving even when it appears it will be exceedingly short-lived. “I don’t love you because there’s the promise of tomorrow. I love you because there’s today.” This is unlike any M/M romance book I have ever read and it is an exquisite little gem.
