Marooned in an uninhabited wilderness, microbiologist Nicholas Hindman searches for evidence of remnant populations. He has a protocol to follow and is determined to do so to the bitter end--though he knows he's probably searching in vain, stranded on an empty planet silently orbiting the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, back in 2068 AD, a devastating hyperpandemic has quelled all talk of interstellar travel and thrown the future of humanity into grave doubt. Four surviving members of the Centauri team board a vintage solar-powered sailing yacht for a harrowing journey in search of a second test subject. Their destination is a small volcanic island north of Sicily rumored to harbor that rarest of creatures: a woman capable of getting pregnant, thereby ensuring this generation of Homo sapiens isn't the last. But first they must make it halfway across the post-apocalyptic globe, risking heatwaves, oceanic megastorms, murderous gangs, deranged cult leaders, a volcanic eruption, and the dangerous microbes that continue to circulate through the planet's atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA finalist for the Prism Prize for Climate Literature, \u003ci\u003eThe Afterlife Project\u003c\/i\u003e encompasses a desperate quest for the key to the future of humanity, an impossible love story, and a search for meaning across the inconceivable vastness of geological time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1039480454\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781039480452\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Weed, Tim, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Podium Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Podium Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jun 2025)","offer_id":45657830785221,"sku":"9781039480452","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781039480452.jpg?v=1768895132","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-afterlife-project","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
