First the seas die...
Then the land...Strange things are happening in the solar system. All sea life in the Persian Gulf dies mysteriously. Then one of Jupiter's moons just disappears...

At the heart of it all is Sean’s estranged father - the enigmatic tech billionaire Lars Van Basten - architect of a revolutionary cryogenic technology that could preserve what remains of the human race. But his solution is more horrifying than anyone imagined…
As chaos descends and fractured alliances are formed, Sean and Enza must decide whether to trust Lars’ radical vision or forge their own path through an uncertain future.
