Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Passage comes a riveting tale of survivors on a hidden island utopia where the truth is deceptive. Founded by the enigmatic Designer, Prospera is an archipelago shielded from the chaos of a crumbling outside world. Its fortunate citizens enjoy long, fulfilling lives until their embedded monitors indicate a health drop below 10 percent. At that point, they retire, taking a ferry to the Nursery, where their bodies are rejuvenated, memories erased, and they are prepared to begin anew. Proctor Bennett, a ferryman in the Department of Social Contracts, has a fulfilling career guiding people through retirement and enforcing the process when necessary. However, Proctor's life takes a turn as he begins to dream—something deemed impossible in Prospera—and his monitor percentage plummets. The situation escalates when he is called to retire his own father, who leaves him with a disturbing message before being taken away. Amidst this turmoil, the Support Staff, the ordinary workers sustaining Prospera, start to question their roles. Unrest brews, fueled by rumors of a resistance group known as the "Arrivalists." As Proctor grapples with his beliefs, he becomes entangled in a larger cause, embarking on a desperate quest to uncover the truth.
