BY 2559, HUMANITY IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
Climate catastrophe, deforestation and overpopulation have pushed Earth to the brink of collapse. The world is dying, and humanity is dying with it. The colonies on Mars and the Moon, once beacons of hope, have failed to deliver on their potential. The dream of reaching new worlds and travelling among the stars has all but died, dismissed as the fantasy of the insane.
With Earth no longer able to sustain its population, the world government introduces the Zones. The solution is as simple as it is desperate: six days of every week, humanity sleeps in a form of suspended animation known as coldsleep. They wake for just one day to work, live and survive.
For Detective Jack Varden, that day is Tuesday.
When a series of unexplained murders rocks New Washington, Jack is forced to work alongside Lieutenant Lilly Michaels, a detective fighting a terminal illness. As the investigation deepens, Lilly forms an unlikely bond with Gracie, a sentient holographic intelligence born from Jack’s greatest loss.
Together, the three embark on a race against time to uncover a conspiracy that could change humanity’s future forever. But in a world where six days vanish between every waking, some truths are buried deeper than others.
The answers lie in The Darkness Between Days.
