Series Synopsis
Thames, an ambitious courier, weaves his way through a dangerous city, after a catastrophic event which has claimed two-thirds of the world's population overnight without a trace.
The disappearances caused havoc throughout the world: power grids failed, governments fell, and most means of communication were disrupted. People congregated to the cities and created shaky yet stable societies, but every person born after that day is no longer capable of bearing children, and the world now knows no human being younger than 17 years old. Humanity is doomed.
Ten years after that day, visitors came to the planet, bringing with them beliefs which were very similar to the planet's "old ways" believed to be from myth, folklore and religion.
The ship that brought them to the planet, a kind of interstellar Ark, broke into pieces as it entered the atmosphere, destroying itself and spreading its inhabitants across the planet. These aliens came to live among the population of Earth, changing society forever.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
