A century of climate change has disrupted any sense of a global order, tangling the notions of a developed and developing world. In orbit and nearing completion after half a century of construction is the Tevat, an interstellar ark designed to grant a few thousand believers the chance to start anew on a planet several lightyears away. Funded by the richest man to ever live, the journey will require generations of inhabitants, the initial citizens accepting that they will be sacrificing their descendants to a life aboard a spacecraft in which they can never leave.The affluent and virtuous Pri Gosal is among those chosen believers. However, after sanctioned launches of passengers onto the Tevat are halted, Pri will be forced to discover just how far she is willing to go to in order to leave this planet behind.

The complete How the World Ends story.Book One: More than six billion people died on the 14th of August, 2007. Many walked into oceans and rivers. Some leaped from the roofs and balconies of buildings. Others attacked anyone within reach, forming marauding hordes that quickly left no survivors. Within an hour, nearly the entire human race is dead. Without struggle, without resistance, the world has ended. For one family of survivors, a new world now begins.Book Two: The world has already come to an end. Now Hayden and four others-who might very well be the last souls on Earth-must contend with the notion that it may not be possible to know what happened on the 14th of August, 2007. Regardless of reasons, and against astronomical odds, they survived. But can survival be a means unto itself? Because if not, the cruelest fate might just be their perseverance.Book Three: Beginning five years after the events of Book Two, the conclusion to How the World Ends follows Caleb as he wrestles with not only his past, but with this new world, its changing climate, and the few survivors that remain. Humanity once believed that it was made in God's image, but those who persevered are left to scavenge like insects. And yet there might still be hope for Caleb-and if there is hope for Caleb, then there is hope for us all.
