Four writers and artists created a sci-fi and dystopian world that has
captured audiences around the world with thousands of copies sold in
other languages. This volume collects the first four stories told by
those creators.
In the last decades of the 21st century, a Massive Solar Storm hit
planet Earth, destroying all technology in its way. Global
communications were lost, nuclear reactors collapsed, the climate
suffered the worst drastic changes and financial systems were gone. The
survivors had to adapt to the harsh new reality. New societies were
built over the ruins of those that crumbled. Four generations have
passed.
- The mechanic Terah and her black cat Elvis accept a quick and simple
repairing job in the middle of nowhere. There's something odd about this
job. It's never really simple.
- In the isolated society of the Domecity, robots are responsible for
most of the labor necessary for it to run smoothly. When they rebel and
attack their human masters, it can only mean one thing: it has been
possessed by one of the mysterious viruses from the city's cyberspace.
Only the robot law enforcers of the Ghostware Exorcist Division are
capable of dealing with this threat, and Trent is the best of them.
- Every day in the life of Eko is the same: wake up, get to work,
return to the lodgings, rinse, repeat. That wasn't a problem until he
met the Trashmen, a gang of motor-bikers that freely barter and trade
their way into the Automaton City. It makes Eko feel that something is
wrong, something is missing. His life will never be the same.
- Captain Lucas and his First Mate Daniel are the crew of one of the
Explorer Fleets of the Daedalus Space Colony. Returning from a mission,
they capture a colonial SOS alert coming from an uncharted sector of the
space. They end up stranded on a dangerous and mysterious planet where
they'll be challenged by things they never knew existed.
