AFTER THE LAST LAND
Humanity abandoned Earth after declaring it uninhabitable, fleeing to distant space colonies and leaving their home planet behind to die. Decades later, Alya, a young engineer specialized in planetary systems, is sent back on a routine mission to retrieve old data before Earth’s supposed final collapse.
What she discovers changes everything.
Earth is not dead. It has evolved.
The climate disasters, magnetic storms, and biological mutations were not signs of decay, but defense mechanisms—a conscious response to centuries of human exploitation. The planet has become a living entity, capable of protecting itself… and of judging those who once ruled it.
As Alya forms a connection with this new Earth, she realizes that humanity’s return could trigger a war between mankind and its original home. Hunted by space authorities and torn between loyalty to her species and the truth she now carries, Alya must face an impossible choice:
save humanity by sacrificing Earth, or protect Earth at the risk of dooming humanity.
In After the Last Earth, the future of humankind depends on one essential question:
Are we Earth’s rightful heirs… or its greatest threat?
