Thy Kingdom Come contains twenty stories. Ten tell the story of a young boy growing up in Plainview, Nebraska, a small town in the very heart of America. Through his eyes, we see changes - political and social - sweep the American landscape, and transform his idyllic youth into a darker, more ambiguous adulthood.

The other ten stories range across Europe, charting the stories of ordinary people caught up in a nuclear Armageddon. Religious fanatics commit acts of hideous terrorism in a bid to bring about the Second Coming. The stories are terrifying, heartbreaking, shocking and even beautiful.
