Temporary People explores the human condition in all its most vulnerable exposures. Sharp and satirical, it is a breathtakingly paced romp, and the end will leave you drop-jawed and wanting more. Temporary People is a book for the ages and Steven Gillis delivers.

"Temporary People is a vicious and compelling storyboard for our time."—Jeff Parker, author of Ovenman

"As thoroughly dark and thoroughly humane as Vonnegut's apocalyptic novels like Cat's Cradle and Galapagos.... Here's a fable for our time, and for just about any other time you can imagine."—Chris Bachelder, author of U.S.!
