In this world, everyone suffers.--- In the distant future, a genetic plague has separated humanity in two – Subterraneans who live in underground burrows to protect their health, and strong surface-dwelling Omniterraneans. Zuzan Cayan, a brilliant Subter girl with &“light blindness,&” is about to leave the safety of her burrow and earn a living. With her low life expectancy, however, her options are slim. That is until she&’s offered the chance of a lifetime to study the population&’s broken genetic code, fix the divide and reunite the world once again. But when a new virus turns fatal for the Omnits, Zuzan must find a cure or humanity won&’t simply remain separate, it will become extinct. With enemies on all sides, Zuzan must hold on to the light at the end of the tunnel – or risk the world falling into darkness.File Under: Science Fiction [ Burried Deep | Plain Jane | War is Coming | Plaguing the Game ]
