They called it The Silence. The cure was a lie. The only thing left to do was run.

The world doesn't end in a flash of light, but in a billion moments of quiet, animal terror. It begins when a man opens his mouth to scream and no sound comes out. It spreads when a crowd, stripped of its humanity, turns on its own. And it ends when every adult on the planet realizes they are a ticking clock, a carrier of a plague that has already won.

From the author Daniel Sanjurjo comes a relentless, unflinching chronicle of global collapse, told through a mosaic of visceral, firsthand accounts. Witness the fall through the eyes of:

  • A father trapped on a gridlocked freeway as the social contract evaporates into mob violence.
  • A scientist in a Moscow lab who becomes a fugitive from the horrifying truth of the outbreak.
  • A submarine crew, sealed in a steel tomb, listening as the entire world outside goes silent.
  • The last guardian of a village of toddlers in a remote paradise, who must send a desperate, final broadcast into the void.
  • The Silence is not a story about finding a cure. It is a story about the brutal mechanics of failure and the final, desperate acts of a dying generation. It is a post-apocalyptic thriller that redefines the genre, perfect for fans of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and the grounded, psychological horror of 28 Days Later.

    In a world without a future, what is your final purpose?
