Sphere / Sphere - The escape to nowhere (english edition)

Three years after the catastrophe, little remains of the old world but ash, ruins, and the memory of a life once taken for granted. John James has learned to survive on his own. He knows the deserted streets, the dangerous places, and the sounds that signal you’d better not stop moving. Then he meets Selena and her eight-year-old daughter, Michelle. The girl does not speak. Yet she draws things she couldn't possibly know: strange places, people she has never seen—and, again and again, a massive black sphere. Sphere. No one knows exactly what it is. Some consider it a legend; others, humanity's last refuge. But as John, Selena, and Michelle journey through the ruined world, it becomes increasingly clear that Sphere is more than just a story. Something is watching them. Machines roam the skies, disturbing creatures lurk in the ruins, and amidst abandoned cities and strangely altered landscapes, they stumble upon traces of a truth that might have been better left hidden. While John is still trying to figure out whom he can trust, Michelle seems to have known their destination all along. And somewhere above the dying Earth, Sphere waits. A journey through the wreckage of a fallen world. A search for answers. And an escape that may not lead to a safe haven.
