The story follows Hototo, one of the fortunate children chosen for extraction. His fate lies in the hands of his teenage sister, Tala, who must navigate a perilous journey to reach the nearest Extraction Beacon before time runs out.

BOOKLIST -- In a post-apocalyptic world that's run the gamut of natural disasters, genetic mutations, and a deadly world war, a beacon of hope has finally arrived. Humanity receives a message: 5,000 rescue bracelets will be delivered from beings from stars in order to save 5,000 children from the next disaster, which they say is certain to wipe out the human race. Tala has been entrusted by her mother to guide her younger brother, Hototo, to one of the designated extraction beacons. Along the way, the two children encounter crazed monsters and deranged religious zealots. Luckily, they also meet friends who are headed for the same destination and are willing to risk their lives for Tala and Hototo. The Mirandas have created a truly captivating story of survival and the bonds between family mixed with otherworldly beings and monsters, which is cinematically rendered in the bright, stylized artwork that makes great use of the sf themes and cultivates a vivid sense of place and emotion. Hand to fans of post-apocalyptic stories and zombies tales.
