A Rose for Armageddon is a science fiction novel by American writer Hilbert Schenck, published in 1982.
It is the story of elderly scientists Elsa Adams and Jake Stinson, who study the history of a small island in New England. [1]
Greg Costikyan reviewed A Rose for Armageddon in Ares Magazine #14 and commented that "Few writers [...] have the wit or the breadth of imagination to play with ideas on as grandiose a scale as Schenck. Despite his rationality – or, as I think he would maintain, because of it – Schenck remains a romantic." [1]
Dave Langford reviewed the novel for White Dwarf #57, and stated that "the mystical turn of the final 24 pages is a surprise and delight after Schenck's underplayed but escalating evocations of doom. I don't believe a word of it after p 166, but recommend it just the same." [2]
Colin Greenland reviewed A Rose for Armageddon for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The solution of the mystery twists all of space and time into a new and startling pattern." [3]
