Publisher's summary
First, the stars in the Milkey Way go dark. Then everyone on earth hears in their minds a very real voice speaking in their own language, dialect, and gender at the precise same time: ''Judgment of the inhabitants of the planet Earth will be held in five days. Please prepare yourselves for the final examination and departure. That is all". Humanity prepares for the rapture. But wait, fate takes a turn. The "Final Examination", a short story by Robert Sheckley narrated as an audiobook by Mike Vendetti, gives us a powerful thought to ponder. A highly plausible "what if".

Story
Far into the future, the world has been torn asunder by meteors. The Cataclysm. The dust and debris from the deep space rocks have settled into the Earth and contain incredible power. The dust can change the environment around it, it can be used to power infrastructure, it can even be used to power weapons. All former nations have been sub-divided into kingdoms, empire, and republics.

Story
Lance was just trying to get through his terrible day when his world came crashing down. As the blazing sun dipped below the horizon, Lance's heart pounded in his chest, each beat pushing him closer to the edge of desperation. Racing against time and a cosmic cataclysm, he must navigate a ravaged world after a monstrous CME strikes the Earth, plunging it into darkness. But this harrowing journey is not solely to survive the aftermath; it's a race to reach his injured father in distant Kansas, where a lonely farmhouse stands as their last beacon of hope.
