Aftermath
Sheffield Charles
It's 2026, and
catastrophe has struck from an unexpected source. The Alpha Centauri
supernova has risen like a second sun, rushing Earth toward its last
summer. Floods, fires, starvation, and disease paralyze the planet. In a
blue aurora flash of gamma rays, all microchips worldwide are
destroyed, leaving an already devastated Earth without communications,
transportation, weaponry, or medicine.
The disaster sets three
groups of survivors on separate quests. A militant cult seizes the
opportunity to free their leader, known as the Eye of God, from the
long-term coma to which a court sentenced her. Three cancer patients
also search for a man in judicial sleep: the brilliant scientist—and
monstrous criminal—who alone can continue the experimental treatment
that keeps them alive. From a far greater distance come the survivors of
the first manned Mars expedition, struggling homeward to a world that
has changed far beyond their darkest fears. And standing at the
crossroads is one man, U.S. President Saul Steinmetz, who faces a
crucial decision that will affect the fate of his own people ... and the
world
