This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This is a gripping tale of a man adrift in a shattered reality, his identity erased and his purpose redefined by a world where death has taken an indefinite leave of absence. Waking in a city of the living dead, he discovers a terrifying power within himself – the ability to bring an end to the unending torment. This gift, however, thrusts him into a desperate struggle against opposing forces: the sterile, fanatical cult of the Choir, who seek to impose a universal, emotionless stillness, and the desperate, scarred survivors who cling to the last vestiges of life and memory.
As he navigates the grotesque, biological landscape of this broken world, piecing together fragments of its catastrophic past, he finds himself at the nexus of a conflict where life itself is the disease and death is the only cure. With the fate of a billion souls resting on his scarred hands, he must make an impossible choice, a final, terrible surgery to excise the source of a thousand years of suffering, or to become the very stillness he had sworn to defy. It is a journey into the heart of a machine that murdered death, and the story of the surgeon who must now bring about its final, and most merciful, demise.
