When Flight 217 disappears into the freezing North Pacific, survival becomes a brutal math problem.
John McKey, a combat veteran who has already buried too many ghosts, survives the crash with nothing but his training, his instincts, and a choice no one should have to make. In the chaos that follows, the rules people thought governed the world-fairness, decency, mercy-begin to collapse under cold, hunger, and fear.
As the survivors splinter into factions, some choose efficiency over compassion, casting aside the weak in the name of survival. John chooses differently. Alongside a handful of strangers-and a newborn named Kate-he stakes his life on a dangerous belief: that civilization does not begin with strength, but with care.
Battling exposure, predators, and the slow erosion of humanity itself, the group must endure long enough for rescue to matter-if it ever comes at all.
The World We Lost is an adventure survival story about leadership under pressure, the cost of moral courage, and the fragile line between living and becoming something unrecognizable.
