synopsis

Synopsis
A trio of authors - Andrew Charles Lark, Donald Levin, and Wendy Sura Thomson - produced this dystopian anthology. Andrew Lark’s “Pollen” is a riveting, multiple point-of-view account of a strange atmospheric phenomenon that destroys humankind’s ability to reproduce, ushering in the extinction of our species. Donald Levin’s “The Bright and Darkened Lands of the Earth” is a gripping tale set in a desperate, post-apocalyptic future where a heroic woman battles ecological and social collapse in an effort to save her tribe—and humanity—from certain annihilation. Wendy Sura Thomson’s “Silo Six” is a suspenseful story of love and survival set far into the future, when the sun begins its transformation into a red giant and scorches the earth into a virtually uninhabitable cinder.

Those not infected

It must be a very strange feeling, knowing that you, alone, were not infected by a strange substance. It reminds me of the movie "The Body Snatchers"... one by one they fell. What a lonely feeling.

Book Excerpt

Postcards From the Future

Eventually I found my way back to civilization but quickly determined that something horrible had happened to humanity. Information on Pollen was sketchy and vague in those early days, and legitimate news regarding the incident was soon overshadowed by conspiracy and paranoia. I laid low, kept to myself, and told no one about my inadvertent luck in quarantine on the submarine that kept me from being exposed to the slow death of Pollen. Sadly, in all the years since abandoning the submarine, I never heard from, nor saw any of my fellow crew members again; their sea-bloated corpses visit only in flashback and nightmare, tangled in kelp, and pummeled by surf.
I lived out the rest of my life in quiet anonymity and watched sadly as civilization crumbled around me.
