Where were you in 1999? Matt Traxler was living in Davis, California, out of college and heartbroken. When his occasional pot dealer Jay Rasco suggests moving to Miami, Matt figures he has nothing to lose. After packing up his Peugeot stationwagon they drive cross country and discover Florida is as friendly and familiar as any other alien planet. Through hurricane warnings and paranoia that Y2K might change it all, the duo search for adventure, romance, meaning, and Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth. 1999 was a time when a missed phone call could mean everything. An era when superstores ruled the earth and sometimes it took two whole minutes to log on to the internet. It was a time when everyone thought maybe, just maybe, the world might change forever. It was The End of the Century. "It takes a deft writer to make a young slacker protagonist either interesting or likable and David Rolland succeeds in both. He enhances this with his implementation of an ingenious literary device - the countdown to Y2K panic that marked the end of the last century." Lou Aguilar, author of Jake for Mayor and Paper Tigers. "The End of the Century is a wonderful coming-of-age story capturing a moment in time that seems like a thousand years ago, yet most of us remember like yesterday." J.J. Colagrande, author of Reduce Heat, Continue To Boil
