Burn Of The Everflame [Bok / Pocket]

Husbands Don and Rodney have lived a good long life.

A wandering blackhole is coming for Earth and in a month everything and everyone they've ever known will be gone.<br/><br/>Suddenly, after 40 years together, Don and Rodney are out of time. They're in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State to take care of some unfinished business before it's all over.<br/><br/>On the road they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it. But there are also people living their final days as best they know how-impromptu weddings, bright burning bonfires, shared meals, new friends.<br/><br/>And as the blackhole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough.<br/><br/>Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes?
