Aftermath

In 2026 the Alpha Centauri supernova has risen like a second sun, and floods, fires, and disease paralyze Earth. In a flash of gamma rays, all microchips are destroyed, leaving an already devastated planet without communications, transportation, weaponry, or medicine. The disaster sets three groups of survivors on separate quests. A militant cult seizes the opportunity to free their leader from a court-mandated coma. Three cancer patients search for the brilliant scientist, and monstrous criminal, who alone can continue their experimental treatment. And lastly, the survivors of the first manned Mars expedition struggle homeward to a devastatingly changed world.
