The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New monsters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilisations are on a collision course and must fight to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?

A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor on the other hand was a sequel that I feel the world did not need whatsoever. There is nothing about A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor that I liked more or even like equally as the past book.
