This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
When a blackout wiped out global power for a single night, nothing would ever be the same. Millions of children were missing by morning, and the gutters of Philadelphia ran with blood.
Then the Revenants took over. Forcing humanity to live by a different set of rules, they instituted curfews, bans on books and television, and a government-enforced Blood Day every week. They promised to stop killing, ripping humans apart to drink their blood; but in exchange,everyone was required follow the rules. All they asked was the surrender of free will, and many were willing to do just that to survive.
Sia,a classical musician, who wakes up in an experimental hospital, has never donated blood. She is picked up, high on Slack without a needle mark to be found. But the Revenants have big plans for her, an experiment that is going to change everything. But as Sia recovers from addiction, it becomes obvious that there is more to her that meets the eye. Sia Aoki is full of secrets.
Mike Novak, a journalist with a past, finds himself on the run after writing a story about the Revenants' new experimental hospitals. He holes up in an abandoned farmhouse at the behest of a mysterious new benefactor, and Mike begins working on an underground newspaper,printing real news about the Revs, and the humans working to bring them to their knees.
Genevieve White is a doctor who lost everything: her job, her home, even her son. Recruited to work in a new kind of hospital, Viv meets a very unusual musician, and risks everything to save her. Because Viv has a secret, too. She knows how to destroy the monsters that have taken over the world.
The three very different strangers become intertwined, their stories weaving together in the fight to save what's left of Philadelphia.With the help of a renegade Revenant, they may be the world's last hope.
Or the whimper of humanity's destruction.
Genre: Horror
