The Last Town on Earth centers on the inhabitants of a small logging town in Washington and what happens when they take drastic measures (quarantine) to try and protect themselves from the virulent and deadly flu epidemic of 1918. When a deserting WWI soldier demands sanctuary, events are set in motion that change the town forever.©2007 Thomas Mullen (P)2004 Recorded Books,LLC Historical Fiction War & Military Genre Fiction Medical

War? Or disease? The devastation of mind and body recounted by those who suffered in WW1 and the Great Influenza that struck a nation. Graham, a mill worker, who only wanted a quiet life amid his family found a personal war for possession of his soul, almost more desperate than the scourge unfolding in his town. Or? Was Phillip or the soldier's plight the more haunting? The ghosts of the town were the only peaceful inhabitants....for their graves were many...surrounded by pines. The story tugged me in every direction. I loved it.

What if the world around you was frightening and dangerous?
What if you were morally opposed to war and employed those who were also opposed?
What if a dangerous disease was spreading like wildfire, killing and injuring anyone in its path.
How could you protect those you love, those in your employ?
These are the questions Thomas Mullen wrestles with in his brilliant historical period novel, "The Last Town on Earth."
Henry Strozier tells the story like a wise grandfather who has seen it all. You're drawn in to the moral dilemmas, how impulsive acts can change you, your family, your town.
Well worth your time, money and credit.

I now know that Thomas Mullen is an excellent author. I enjoyed this book and will certainly look for others by Mr Mullen I have it four stars because the end felt tacked on, but the epilogue resolved that issue. Excellent narration, too.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator. A better narrator might have kept me engaged in the story. As it was I felt no involvement or investment in the characters.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Unremarkable ending.

What didn’t you like about Henry Strozier’s performance?

Slow, tedious, I zoned out a number of times and didn't seem to miss anything significant.

Could you see Last Town on Earth being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No, the story is too long and slow.

Could have been better
