In homage to H.G. Wells. Duel themes of science fiction and challenging our ideas of biological inheritance and the treatment of other species.
If the world has ended, what comes next? This is a pressing question at the forefront of the minds of the remnants of a minor species called ‘humanity’.
Most of all, it is on the minds of two people in particular. One, the main character, is a teacher from Kingstown, the state’s capital. He epitomises everyman and he desperately wants to escape his country posting in Sherinville. The other, Lisa Harvey, a PhD student from a farming community, who has had to adapt to life in the city after the destruction of the human race.
Both these characters witness the apparent disaster and reorganisation of the world they have always known. Independently they leave to find their family, home and the security of loved ones in their time of need. Meeting by chance on the open road, they witness the destructive power of what they are dealing with first hand.
Together they face a series of bizarre and terrifying events that leads them to an inescapable conclusion; to remain separate from this new creed of humankind, or lose all freedom of thought and join forces with the visitors.
