Star Walk" Volume 2 Book Shadow


What is "Star Walk"?

The Earth has left its orbit and is no longer spinning on its axis.

Mia McAlpine returns from a project after 26 years. She wakes up from a cold sleep to find an Earth that has changed so much that it is impossible for people to survive, divided into a "scorching hot" climate where sunlight pours down and an "extremely cold" climate where darkness closes in.

Mia and her AI robot partner, Shirowan, land in the "twilight zone," the only borderline where humans can survive. While encountering unknown and terrifying creatures in the land where they landed, they continue their quest to unravel the mystery of what has happened to the Earth and where the human race is headed.
