Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse
Relevant Books, 2005

The end is all kinds of nigh. Better start reading.

Not to go all Chicken Little on you, but global catastrophe is pretty much inevitable. Could be an act of God. Could be a collision with an asteroid. Nuclear holocaust is a familiar candidate, as is global warming. And even if those options fall through, we're still looking at the spectacular flameout of our sun when it runs out of fuel in five billion years — give or take — at which point it will start swelling up like a flaming cosmic beachball until it swallows the Earth in a spectacular blaze of cataclysmic glory.

Also, there's the whole Book of Revelation/Antichrist/End Times scenario.

Clearly, you need to be prepared for these options. Enter the Pocket Guide, which contains the following helpful chapters:

1. Apocalyptionary (A Glossary of the End)

2. The End Is Near, Part 1 (A Timeline: 2000 B.C. until 1900)

3. The End Is Near, Part 2 (Another Timeline: 1900 to the Present)

4. Know Your Potential Antichrists (A Gallery of Candidates)

5. Fun with Eschatology (A Painless Introduction to Apocalyptic Theory)

6. Armageddon Grab-Bag (Miscellaneous Items Not Long Enough for Chapters of Their Own)

This is where the Pocket Guide series began.
