In the morbid taste for fear and terror as entertainment, stories about catastrophes or apocalypse appear with a special omen point about an end that seems achievable at all times, either tomorrow at the hands of an insane leader, within a century with the fall of a meteorite or at the turn of millennia with a glacial cycle.
For this reason, plots like the ones presented by the book TwentyThey get that ghoulish appeal about an exterminated civilization. In this specific case, it is a singular global event that drags humanity into a generalized suicide, such as a chemical imbalance, a magnetic effect or a generalized abduction.
But of course, you always have to contribute a side of hope so as not to succumb to fatalism. The hope that something or someone from our civilization can survive and offer testimony to our History completes the theme with the necessary brilliance of our tiny passage through a merciless cosmos.
And it is already known that the future is youth ...
Andrea is not yet eighteen years old and finds herself in absolute chaos. In her tragic journey through a world silenced by death, she meets others who, like her, have avoided the origin of the devastating evil.
A new world presents itself for these young inhabitants of silence, ruins and sadness. Their instinct for survival and their eagerness to discover the truth leads them on an adventure like no other. The clues, or inertia is leading them towards that critical point, the epicenter of general destruction, the origin for the extinction of human life.
What they can discover will position them very close to a solution to the enigmatic fact that extinguished so many lives around the world. It is never too late to tackle a problem, however extraordinary it may be. If the boys are right, they might have a chance to revitalize a planet given over to devastation.
