When an emergency alert warns of an incoming missile, the residents of Beckitt, Massachusetts are forced into a panic-stricken confrontation with their deepest fears and desires. Seventeen minutes later, a second message declares it a false alarm - leaving each to reckon with the choices made in what they thought were their final moments. BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. One ordinary morning, in an unexceptional town, every mobile phone lights up with the same emergency alert. In this compelling, darkly funny and moving debut novel, each of Vincent Yu’s utterly relatable, flawed characters is given a choice: in the face of mutually assured destruction, do we reach for grace and mercy or do we hold on to hate and fear? Seventeen minutes later the town learns via text that it was a false alarm and the question changes. Can we forgive each other for what’s been said and done when the world didn’t actually end?
