Synopsis: It has been the worst catastrophe the people of Earth had ever endured. In the summer of 2000, fragments of a rogue planet slammed into Earth. Billions were killed. The impact ravaged Earth, stopping its rotation. Now, twenty-one years later, the remnants of humanity face total extinction. They live a primitive existence in a land divided into perpetual daylight, eternal twilight, and endless night. From each of these worlds comes a threat that could destroy the fragile civilization that has survived. A young man finds horrors while seeking for his mother in the lawless Darkzone. A weary wanderer returns to a haven from his past, unwittingly leading a murderer to its unsuspecting people. And an explorer searches for treasures in a long-dead city, only to bring back a plague called the 'Red Shadows'. (adapted from the back cover of the first edition)
