Perfect for you if...

  • You love hard science mixed with survival stakes, where the threat is scientifically plausible and the physics actually matter.
  • You're drawn to ensemble casts thrown together by catastrophe, where different expertise and backgrounds determine who makes it through.
  • You want post-apocalyptic fiction that treats ancient human history as a blueprint for how to rebuild, not just as flavour.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction where introspection matters more than immediate physical danger.
  • You're looking for cosy apocalypse or stories where communities rebuild peacefully from the ground up.
  • You want a standalone novel. This is book one of a series, so you'll be left hanging until the next instalment.

About this book

An asteroid containing three orbiting moons is detected by Kyle, an astronomer specializing in Near-Earth Objects. His discovery provides the only warning of an incoming catastrophic threat, but proves insufficient to protect his daughter or the wider world. Dallas, a researcher focused on deep time and humanity's ancient past, must confront humanity's imminent extinction. She relies on present relationships and her unique expertise to search for unexpected solutions. A group of strangers are brought together across locations ranging from Alaska's tundra to ancient caves in South Africa. A series of catastrophic events unfolds, revealing how the definition of apocalypse can be redefined and suggesting that humanity's past may contain answers for preserving its future. This post-apocalyptic series examines global disasters and the lengths people will go to survive.
