Description

In the year 2332, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction as a mysterious plague known as the Gray Death spreads from Alaska to New Zealand, turning skin silver and ending lives within hours. The world’s most advanced cities, from the gleaming towers of New York to the distant colonies of Earth, are shrouded in an uneasy silence, their streets haunted by electric shovels digging countless graves. Even the most sophisticated medical science of the era seems powerless against the relentless contagion.

Amid this crisis, former chief pilot Larry Gibson arrives in New York aboard the massive Tokyo‑to‑New York Stratholiner, his status reduced to a third‑class passenger after years of hardship. Once a celebrated figure in the Strathofleet, he now moves through the shadowy corridors of the liner, his eyes hidden beneath a wide hat, aware that his very survival may determine the fate of an entire planet.

Gibson’s covert mission—carrying secrets that could halt the Gray Death—places him at the heart of a desperate race against time. As he navigates a city on the brink, every choice he makes could either save the Good Green world or seal its doom, while whispers of a lunar deity add an enigmatic layer to the unfolding struggle.
