Publisher's Synopsis
Several mass extinctions had taken place since life began on earth, the major causes of these annihilation are given to conjectures and imaginations because mankind never witnessed any of them. Since the industrial age, humans have contaminated the atmosphere, land and sea and little did we know that we are at the brink of an imminent extinction, not from outer space, not from nuclear warheads but from the quietest, calmest but complex organism...Plants.It was the year 2030, numerous conflicts have eaten into the fabric of the earth, nations gnawed on each other like packs of rabies infected dogs, with each defeat fueled by pride and the quest for glory, nuclear-powered bombs were used and radiation began to spread, killing billions of people and reshaping continents and the way of life of those that managed to survive it.Africa was almost wiped off the map and was labeled as the radiation zone where life does not exist, they called it Darksand; unknowingly to the world, there were some survivors. People confined to a small town in a forest, no one that have ever left had returned alive, there was something about the trees, every grasses and twigs, something that took centuries even with all botanical research and knowledge, mankind never knew what plants are capable of until it was too late.The ecosystem was fast depreciating and this triggered something in the plants, something that have happened severally in time but unaware to humans, their only chance of surviving is to wipe out mankind. How difficult could it be, knowing we completely depend on plant to survive?
