One universal language. A 90-day countdown. And an apocalypse engineered by human hubris.
Twenty three year old Avery Lee is just a regular girl trying to survive the nightmare of Los Angeles traffic. But when she wakes up from a terrifying dream of the Pacific Ocean boiling away-with flawless cosmic blueprints burned into her mind-the world calls her crazy.
The laughing stops when an arrogant energy corporation drills too deep off the coast of Santa Monica. They didn't just find clean power; they accidentally broke a primordial, cosmic cage at the center of the Earth. A catastrophic subterranean disturbance is unleashed, triggering an irreversible chain reaction that will blow the planet apart in exactly ninety days.
Taking pity on a species that accidentally doomed itself, the gods themselves descend from the sky. To give us a fighting chance, they grant humanity an emergency gift: a single, universal language and flawless, ego-free cooperation skills.
While Avery stays on the crumbling streets of LA, an army of 1.2 billion men is launched into space. Working in perfect synchronization with the divine, they have three months to build a new Earth-sized globe at a safe parking spot in orbit.
But a shadow is rising. The fracture that doomed Earth has awakened ancient, vengeful entities from their millennial prison. They want the gods dead and humanity extinct, launching an all-out war to shatter the new world before the final weld can be placed.
Armed only with her wits and Taylor-Rei-a snarky, talking diamond ladybug sent by the gods as an A.I. guide-Avery becomes the ultimate bystander witnessing the end of the world. Can a unified humanity lock the shields of their new home into place before the ground beneath Avery's boots completely explodes?
"The gods didn't give us a single language so we could finally understand each other. They gave it to us so a billion men could weld our salvation in the dark."
