"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

The gunfire had formed into a continuous popping succession but as bodies dropped, more infected took up the spot of their fallen counterparts. They were unrelenting. I couldn't see any running infected in the horde, I could only see those that moved slowly but they had their numbers on their side.

Screams rang out occasionally when the infected got one of the women that had escaped the store with us and I couldn't stop thinking Faye and I were next. Laleh, Tara and another lady had already gotten away from the horde and only had to avoid a few stragglers. I was momentarily worried that they were going to leave us behind before Laleh turned around and waved at us to hurry up.

"The stalkers are back!" one of the men yelled and the gunfire became non-stop again.

'Aren't we already in the middle of them?'
