The most deadly virus humanity has even known spreads across the globe like wildfire, turning people into undead. As Erick adventures outside trying to find his brother, he receives a message from a survivor, Hannah. She is stuck in her house surrounded with undead. Will Erick be able to go save her and survive himself through this chaotic environment?

20,000 years from now, a space ship from the human colonies of the Lesser Magellanic Clouds accidentally falls into a time trap set up by two unimaginably powerful rival empires from millions of years in the future. The ship is thrown back 200 million years into the past. Will its Captain, the heroic Varun Shangrin, succeed in returning to their own time? And how did the accident affect the time war between the two shadowy cosmic combatants? Gerard Klein is a distinguished economist and one of France's best known science fiction writers.
