An ambitious and exuberant antidote to the end-of-the-world blues, Just a Couple of Days established itself as the underground classic of this generation since its initial release in 2001. Now in a major 2007 re-release by Harvest Books, this hilarious, poignant, subversive, and visionary satire of the apocalypse has been called “a Dr. Strangelove for the biotech century.”

If words could dance, this is the story they would tell.

After a graffiti artist tags a local bridge with the enigmatic phrase, “just a couple of days,” an entire town is left wondering “till what?” Not least of all is Dr. Flake Fountain, who suddenly finds himself embroiled in a top secret operation to develop the ultimate biological weapon. Along the way to a climax of madness and mirth, the hapless Flake must figure out how to save the world -- not to mention his own soul -- and he has just a couple of days left.

A relentlessly satirical ride, Just a Couple of Days will take you through the eye of a merry-hearted apocalypse and leave you dancing and laughing on the other side.

“Just a Couple of Days is a lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book. Read it!”

--Christopher Moore, bestselling author of Lamb and You Suck!
