The Heat Wave drew a violence that was swift and efficient at breaking humanity. Abraham’s people have come to the rescue—only for those they deem worthy.
Banished with the task of culling this planet and others, Abraham is pressured to meet his quota while the population on Earth dwindles. He is disturbed by what he witnesses. Until he meets Nova. Twice. She’s refused his offer of sanctuary because the promise of a floating city in the sky sounds absurd, even if it does offer safety and relief from the sweltering heat. This planet has a way of bringing certain people together, especially when they need it most. At the end of the world, there will be violence and there just might be a man from space playing 90’s tunes on a harmonica.
