Description
Death comes, and misery follows. As a man in his early twenties, Leon never genuinely contemplated what would happen after his death.
Like those before him, he never understood the truth of our universe. After his sudden demise, the terrorizing reality of a mysterious dystopian afterlife begins crushing him as it has those prior.
Men have started enslaving and killing each other to sate their greed while enigmatic creatures oppress the masses. Only a select few have shown the courage that is needed to challenge their supremacy.
Through this eclipsing darkness, there is hope. But will that hope prove to be enough to save this turbulent cosmos?
The revelations of advanced science, magic, human savagery, and even our gods will be showcased. Both in a new light and disturbing darkness, will the verities of Earth and Afterworld give him a greater understanding of our universe; or in turn, begin to break him as they have done to so many before?
Advance Praise
"Fans of dystopian fantasy and sci-fi will have something to love here, mixing elements from different genres works particularly well in this story and applies a macabre logic to the afterlife created by Robertson.
A fast-paced and action-packed dystopic sci-fi fantasy, Afterworld is less of an adventure more of a quest – one you can’t help but want to finish.""
