Mankind number less than nine million. The world is on the brink of the next mass extinction.THE DYING WORLDThe year is 2073. The world stands on its final footing. Back in 2048, the world's population numbered over a hundred billion. Wars were fought over food not land. A new organization was put to work; to find the cure for world hunger.THE MACHINEThey used the best scientists from every nation and succeeded in creating D.E.F (Digitally Enhanced Food.) However, the name came to have a more sinister meaning. The machine manipulated time, speeding up the growing process. However, it caused rips in time and space, allowing another dimension – which had been poised waiting for mankind to make such a mistake – to churn through, reaping death and almost total destruction. The answer to their prayers became their worst nightmare.THE LAST OF MANKINDHumankind now numbers a mere nine million. The adults survive in eight underground cities, protected by barriers – it used to be thirteen, but five perished when the moon was rent in two. Their offspring lives on a vast space station, which sits in a geostationary equatorial orbit around a world riddled with creatures from the darkest parts of the imagination. The cities barriers are failing. Also, the Station is slowly being pulled down by the earth's gravity – it was not designed to hold so many, for so long.PART ONE: THE LAST HOPEA small group of six holds all of mankind's hope in their hands as they head towards the largest rip to try to close it down. A father withholds secrets, possibly sending his sons to their death – secrets that if they seep out will cause total panic in all eight remaining cities. The head of the Council of Cities knows what is coming, what's heading their way; she sits and looks at aerial photos of the advancing armies that are closing in. The decision she makes will affect millions. The commander in charge of the orbiting space station awaits the yearly rocket with the children onboard. However, something is wrong with the data files, the numbers just don't add up. With only one day to go, things start to take a deadly turn. Is there a traitor onboard their last hope for humanity?Time is one luxury mankind doesn't have; however, time is what they need the most. Unless a miracle happens, within the next broken lunar cycle, humankind will become extinct.
