James Spicer's life didn't really start until everyone else's stopped He lived in an almost Utopian world forged in the fire of Prometheus, an asteroid that threatened man's continuing existence. Humanity finally had to forget all of its differences and pull together and for James things couldn't get much better he had a house, wife and a job. But when his wife left him he re-evaluated his life and decided to leave his job and train as a doctor. Moving to the University to study is what saved his life. Prometheus was the second asteroid to alter Man's existence, it skirted Earth's asteroid defense system but it hit Mars and then ricocheted into Venus and the resultant shockwave hit Earth with enough force to wipe out most of Mankind. After months at the university James decides that he needs to find out what has happened to the rest of the world and sets out to find civilization, or if needs be restart it. On his way through a devastated Europe he meets several friends, including Jenny a woman that might just be able to make his life worth living again. Unfortunately, he soon realises that the new world contains more enemies than friends and to survive he must forget his natural instincts and kill or be killed. The only things he needs to find out are, is there still a civilisation to find, can Jenny live with the new James and more importantly can he?
