Well, this is finally the end of The Collapse. It’s been a crazy ride from beginning to end – even though I wrote only half as much as 2008′s The Typist, this was still a ridiculous challenge to finish when coupled with my intense engineering curriculum. I hope you enjoy reading the conclusion of The Collapse as much as I did writing it!

The penultimate day of writing, things begin to wrap up – Vosler makes a triumphant return that defies all laws of fetch technology, and Curie and Derek get closer and closer to finding a way to disabling The Collective.

What’s going to happen in the end? I think, by the title of the novel, you know that already.

Whew, this day was a doozy! There’s a lot of the plot behind the plot unfolding now, and Vosler’s true intentions and plans are coming to light. Was Earth really a place for people without fetches to live in peace? And is it really going to take an entire year to get everyone in a fetch?

Not if Vosler has anything to say about it.
