WHERE ALL IS LOST, HOPE IS FOUND.
The year is 2084 and the world has
changed. Wracked by calamities and crawling with monsters, the last remaining
humans face a dangerous existence. And now, the Earth has been sent a message
from the deepest reaches of space - a dark countdown to the extinction of
all humanity. But there is hope! Five thousand children will be rescued by these
mysterious message-senders.
This is the journey of Hototo, one of the
lucky five thousand - but only if his teenage sister, Tala, can safely
deliver him to the nearest Extraction Beacon before time runs out.

BOOKLIST -- In a post-apocalyptic worldthat's run the gamut of natural disasters, genetic mutations, and a deadly world
war, a beacon of hope has finally arrived. Humanity receives a message: 5,000
rescue bracelets will be delivered from beings from stars in order to save 5,000
children from the next disaster, which they say is certain to wipe out the human
race. Tala has been entrusted by her mother to guide her younger brother,
Hototo, to one of the designated extraction beacons. Along the way, the two
children encounter crazed monsters and deranged religious zealots. Luckily, they
also meet friends who are headed for the same destination and are willing to
risk their lives for Tala and Hototo. The Mirandas have created a truly
captivating story of survival and the bonds between family mixed with
otherworldly beings and monsters, which is cinematically rendered in the bright,
stylized artwork that makes great use of the sf themes and cultivates a vivid
sense of place and emotion. Hand to fans of post-apocalyptic stories and zombies
tales.
