"Fear is a feeling, but it tends to run deeper than that. It's like a virus. Resilient and highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of it can grow to destroy you."

°°°°°°

It's the year 2280. Airborne particles were invented with the intent to eradicate diseases but instead they become radioactive, toxic and severely deadly to anyone who breathes in even a tiny amount.

The world becomes a dystopia and is uninhabitable.

With time running out for humans on earth, Hiro Tachibana is one of the scientists that has to find out if a new planet is fit for habitation. But when people start turning up dead on the spaceship and there are more questions than answers, Hiro realizes that he may not be able to trust anyone.

Not even himself.

AN: This book is undergoing a MAJOR rewrite. The previous chapters are not available for now so don't start reading it. I'll post an announcement when I'm done editing. Thank you!

Beyond Earth

We were down to twelve now. The third car didn't show up and two of our neighbours in the pickup truck had died from their gunshot wounds. Cassandra had been grazed by a bullet so Hae In had cleaned her wound and covered it with gauze.

Our cars were adorned with a couple of bullet holes and we were all sad and pissed, mostly pissed. The mood became worse when we realized that the bullets had hit the gas tanks of the two cars and the gas had leaked out. The third car had been the one carrying the jerry cans filled with gas and most of the weapons.

Daniel, Cassandra and Roshni's mum had headed into town even after we had made it clear that we didn't want them to. Who knew if the 2,548 people were infected? It was still a risk they were willing to take after this was pointed out.
