Set in a present-day world where America&rsquo;s euthanasia laws have been struck down, the novel follows Tom Mulvey, a jaded twentysomething who becomes a highly successful expiration-assistance salesman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With an ominous backdrop that shakes the reader&rsquo;s ideas about mortality and right and wrong, the novel explores our often-dysfunctional relationships in the age of technology, the dangers of commercialism, and broad ethical questions about how society deals with suffering and death. The author&rsquo;s flowing succinct descriptive style propels the writing forward, while supplemental details help build a world that is both rich and believable. Hasiuk succeeds in exposing moral dilemmas large and small through the eyes of his protagonist, bringing readers along on Tom&rsquo;s tumultuous journey through the suicide business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Expiration Depot<\/em> (ISBN: 9781735948782) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.
