The world has only 10 days left to live. 240 hours. 14,400 minutes. Earth - literally! - bursting at the seams. A series of grandiose explosions, from pole to pole, destroys all living things. Every hour the disaster repeats itself – hundreds of kilometers further. It all started in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and will end on the shores of the Atlantic, somewhere in the west of France and Great Britain. What to do? Looking for shelter? Run? Accept the inevitable? Lily-Ann strives to see her parents stuck in Japan at least once again, and is ready to rush towards them. Talented businesswoman Sarah dreams of saving the world, and she even has ideas, and her husband, writer Gwenael, is eager to finish the book. Valentin protects his mother from the cruel reality, and police major Beatrice Blanche protects people from each other. One way or another, everyone has only ten days left. Ten days before a desperate attempt to find the meaning of life. This book is a brilliant reminder of how fragile our world is and how priceless our quiet life is. In France, the novel caused heated discussions even before the pandemic - and now it has completely migrated to the category of young adult classics, captivating any reader. Tense and fast-paced, the book by French writer Manon Fargetton (born 1987) is a new take on the disaster novel genre. Which hero are you willing to bet on? Whose path of survival is the right one? Translator Nina Khotinskaya managed to preserve Fargetton's original style - and draw the reader into the unique world of an unusual novel.
