End Times Odyssey, The

di Catarina Vasconcelos Pereira de Sousa e Valle (Autore)

Celestial Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The sun rose crimson over the fractured landscape, casting long shadows through the skeletal remains of what had once been downtown Portland. Marina Castellanos pressed her face against the grimy window of the abandoned apartment building, watching the toxic mist roll through the empty streets below. Three years had passed since the Great Collapse, when the tectonic plates beneath the Pacific Northwest had shifted with such violence that entire cities had vanished into newly formed chasms. She pulled her threadbare jacket tighter around her shoulders and turned away from the window. The small room she called home was sparse but organized—a mattress in one corner, shelves of carefully rationed supplies along the walls, and a collection of books she'd salvaged from the ruins of the public library. Knowledge, she'd learned, was just as valuable as food or clean water in this new world. Marina had been a geology professor before the world ended, and her understanding of the earth's movements had kept her alive when others had perished. She knew which buildings were likely to collapse, where to find fresh water springs, and how to read the subtle signs that preceded aftershocks. But today felt different. The tremors that had awakened her before dawn were unlike anything she'd experienced in months—deeper, more rhythmic, almost purposeful. A soft knock at her door interrupted her thoughts. She moved cautiously, her hand instinctively reaching for the makeshift spear she kept beside the entrance. Trust was a luxury few could afford in the aftermath. "Marina? It's Thomas." The voice was familiar, belonging to the elderly man who lived two floors below. Thomas Brennan had been a radio operator for the National Weather Service, and in the years since the Collapse, he'd become the unofficial coordinator for their small community of survivors.
