"Duck It!" Delivers a Darkly Funny, Voice-Driven Dystopian Journey Where Survival Becomes a Reckoning
In a world where the human population has dwindled to roughly 1%, Earth has become a living nightmare. For Lionel Romero, it is also the first time he has ever felt free.
Duck It! follows Lionel as he leaves his dead parents' home in Florida and heads toward the Midwest, documenting his trek in a plain notebook. As he moves through abandoned landscapes and eerie quiet, Lionel wrestles with the paradox of the end of the world: the strange relief of ecstatic seclusion, and the relentless reality that other survivors still exist.
Told through Lionel's raw, candid journal voice, Duck It! blends road travel with emotional fallout, shifting between the present journey and the memories that continue to shape him. The result is an intimate portrait of a flawed narrator navigating fear, guilt, resentment, and the unsettling freedom of having almost no one left.
The novel has already earned notable recognition, including the Literary Titan Book Award, along with Readers' Favorite and Reader Views Five-Star Review honors.
Literary Titan calls the voice "raw, jumpy, funny in dark ways, and full of chaotic honesty," recommending the novel to readers who enjoy "intimate, voice-driven fiction" and end-of-the-world stories rooted in real feeling. Reader Views highlights the pull of Lionel's journal-style narration and notes, "It reminds me of Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, but with a single narrator's experience." Readers' Favorite describes the novel as "an intelligently witty dystopian novel in a genre that is in desperate need of something fresh," adding that "C.O.B.'s world-building is textured and fully realized."
With razor-edged humor, psychological honesty, and a narrative that prioritizes the person over spectacle, Duck It! is a compelling read for fans of character-driven dystopian fiction, flawed narrators, and post-apocalyptic stories that feel personal, messy, and real.
Duck It! is available now. Get your copy on Amazon [https://amzn.to/3ONJOUQ] today.
