      A BOOK TO READ.
      A BOOK TO READ AGAIN.
      A TERRIFYING PROPHECY.
      A REASON TO ACT NOW.

      The last generation...
      innocent victims of an accidental war, living out the last days, making plans that will never be carried out, making do with what they have—however temporary it might be—hoping for the miracle that will not come. As the deadly rain moves ever closer, and the world as we know it winds toward an inevitable end.
