Review of John Harmer’s "Ere His Floods of Anger Flow"

I admit that Harmer's apocalypse novel took hold of my mind and kept me reading. The story is about the near future, when pornography and drugs have become even more prevalent and powerful in the world. In the course of just a week or two, a perfect storm of problems arises to humble and punish the entire world, including a deadly e. coli plague, revelation of financial fraud and resultant economic collapse, acts of terrorism against the electricity supply, famine caused by genetically modified crops going bad, solar flares destroying satellites, deadly storms of hail, and I may have forgotten two or three.
