Jason M. Hough's pulse-pounding debut combines the theatre, swagger, and stunning heroes of Joss Whedon's Firefly with the ability of sci-fi creator John Scalzi. In the middle-23rd century, Darwin, Australia, stands as the previous human city on the planet. The globe has succumbed to an alien plague, with the majority of the population altered into mindless, savage creatures. The planet's refugees flock to Darwin, in which a space elevator - created by the architects of the apocalypse, the Contractors - emits a plague-suppressing aura. Skyler Luiken has a unusual immunity to the plague. Supported by a global team of fellow "immunes", he leads missions into the dangerous wasteland beyond the aura's edge to get the resources Darwin needs to push away collapse. However when the Elevator starts to breakdown, Skyler is tapped - along with the excellent scientist, Dr. Tania Sharma - to resolve the secret of the declining alien technology and save the ragged remnants of humanity.
