All That Does Not Turn

When civilization collapses under the sudden onslaught of NERV-1, a neurotropic virus, the world as it was once known ends. Cities become tombs, farmland becomes hazardous ground, and survival depends on knowledge that is rapidly fading. For Dr. Fleming, a young emergency physician, the rules of life and death no longer apply. Without ICUs, ventilators, or the technology he once trained in, he must rely on ingenuity and primitive medical techniques to save the living - not just from the virus, but from the ecological consequences of the dead. Every patient who dies becomes a ticking biological bomb, threatening the fragile footholds of a rapidly shrinking world. And those who survive the virus are changed - impulsive, neurologically impaired, and haunted by what they endured. Each day is a choice between protecting life and risking catastrophe, between rebuilding society and mourning the losses that inevitably mount. Amidst the tension of survival, the virus, and the ecological danger it brings, the question lingers: can humanity reclaim its knowledge, restore civilization, and eventually cure NERV-1 - or will the remnants of the old world crumble before the breakthrough arrives?
