Among them is Iulius, a historian and a member of a secret society, entrusted with a daunting mission-to chronicle the key events that led to civilization's collapse. He hopes this history might guide future generations-or perhaps extraterrestrial visitors-as they seek to understand the reasons for humanity's tragic fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day Iulius receives a long-awaited coded message, indicating it's time to leave the safety of city-state New Vancouver and deliver his manuscript to whoever and whenever his mentor, Father Thomas says. Once there, he will also receive a hyper-memory stick containing the accumulated knowledge of humankind that he must deliver to that person, to that destination. But the journey ahead is fraught with danger. Beyond the city's walls lies a devastated wilderness teeming with billions of desperate, feral survivors who have abandoned their humanity for the sake of a single goal-survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAided by an unlikely group of companions, Iulius must navigate treacherous terrain, evade bloodthirsty marauders, and confront his own fears, all while racing to complete his chronicle before he, too, becomes just another casualty of the apocalyptic wasteland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038330864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"J.
