At the end of the world, who will survive?
The year is 2061, and the planet is dying. Cataclysmic solar
storms have forced leaders from around the world to finally
put aside their differences and agree on one thing--to jump
ship. The human race is headed to Mars.
Dr. Sophie Winston is hired by New Tech Corporation to test
a biosphere deep within the heart of Cheyenne Mountain; a
mission she believes will help prepare NTC for the
three-year flight to the red planet. But, just days into the
assignment, things start to go wrong. When the blast doors
hiss open, Winton's team finds a changed world outside.
Humans are gone, vanished without a trace, and they aren't
the only thing missing. The planet's water is gone, too.
As the team explores their surroundings, they find thousands
of luminous blue orbs lining the streets. It isn't until
they uncover what's inside that they realize the nightmare
that lies ahead.
