Vaughn had visions of plying the seven seas with Angela at his side. Then she and fate crapped all over his plans. Bent on discovering the truth about what happened to humanity and the rest of the world's life, Angela drags a less than willing Vaughn across the Mediterranean and into central Europe. However, even the overhead presence of a line of levitating steel structures and ships couldn't prepare them for what lied ahead. The size and scale of what they find in Geneva rocks them to their cores.
Angela and Vaughn fall into the center of a world-consuming machine. While struggling to survive, they wander through a looping chain of utterly alien lands. When they finally deduce the true nature of their situation, Angela discovers a potential way out, not just for her and Vaughn but all of Earth's life.
Angela can bring back the whole of the human race!
But only if she and Vaughn can survive the journey home.

Army aviator Vaughn Singleton takes part in a NASA experiment in a last-ditch attempt to reignite his failing military career, but when he emerges from the experimental vacuum chamber, he soon discovers he is the last human left on Earth, a position for which he is emotionally ill-equipped.
Stranded alone on the ISS, Commander Angela Brown watched a wave of light sweep across the planet. Over the following weeks and months, Angela struggles to contact someone on the surface as she fights to survive aboard a deteriorating space station. Then, from orbit above Central Europe, Angela glimpses the dark underpinnings of humanity's demise. It appears something went horribly wrong with a physics experiment at the supercollider in Geneva, Switzerland. As a theoretical physicist, Angela might be able to unravel and maybe even reverse the events that led to the apocalypse...if only she could get there.
Can Vaughn find a path to space and back? Can Angela—the only person capable of reversing humanity's disappearance—survive until he does?
