Is the world, as we know it coming to an end as most religious and secular apocalyptic narratives describe? Is the destiny of our world connected to our karma? Is the world inevitably moving towards attaining the results of its own karma? Or, given the alacrity with which the assorted ills of the human civilzation is gaining speed, are we heading towards a time when it will become inevitable that we must accept a fatalistic end?
Is the end always the end? Is end not a new beginning? Because every end is a new beginning. Is this search worth the search of a lifetime?
For six characters in this thrilling novel, the answer to the biggest questions of humanity does not lie in the vague fatalism in all the narratives. They must seek their own answers. Real, clear, precise answers. Fast. Because in the answers could lie the future of us, the future of our civilization! And they do have some ideas.
