In Vivian Apple at the End of the World, Vivian discovered that the cultlike Church of America staged the supposed Rapture. Set on bringing down the Church with this knowledge, Viv and best friend Harp join an extreme militia of anti-Church revolutionaries of which Viv's long-lost sister Winnie is a leader. Nonstop twists and breathless action are just part of this sequel's appeal.
