Survivors of the New Dawn

di Hendrik van Steenvoord (Autore)

Celestial Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The sun rose over a world that no longer recognized its own reflection. Elena Vasquez pressed her face against the cracked window of what had once been the Metropolitan Library, watching the amber light filter through the perpetual haze that had settled over the city three months ago. The silence was the hardest part to bear—not the absence of car horns or construction noise, but the complete stillness where millions of voices once filled the air. She pulled her worn jacket tighter around her shoulders and turned back to the small group huddled around a camping stove in the children's section. The irony wasn't lost on her that they had sought refuge among picture books and fairy tales, stories of heroes and happy endings that seemed as distant now as the stars hidden behind the ash-filled sky. "Any word from the radio?" asked Marcus Chen, a former software engineer whose thick-rimmed glasses had somehow survived everything else falling apart. He stirred a pot of what they generously called soup—mostly water with whatever canned goods they could scavenge from the nearby stores. Elena shook her head. "Static. Same as yesterday." She had been monitoring the emergency frequencies religiously, hoping for some sign that organized help was coming, that somewhere in the world, governments still functioned and rescue operations were underway. The silence from the airwaves was as deafening as the silence in the streets.
