About this audiobook
Humanity’s world is dying.
As fire consumes cities, meteors tear through the atmosphere, and entire populations vanish beneath a collapsing sky, thousands of terrified survivors race toward the Black Ark—an enormous vessel built to carry humanity’s last hope into the stars.
But escaping the planet is only the beginning. Beyond the atmosphere waits the unforgiving darkness of space, where deadly debris, failing systems, dwindling food, unstable water supplies, and growing fear threaten everyone aboard. Families grieve, sacrifices are made, and every decision could determine whether humanity survives—or disappears forever.
The Black Ark was built to save them. Now they must find a way to save the Ark.
