Synopsis
The night the stars fell was only the beginning of the end.
At Nathan Pierce’s high school graduation, hundreds of meteorites strike Earth, dealing a devastating blow to humanity. With help from his sister, Daisy, Nathan travels to Phoenix to search for his missing parents in the chaos, only to discover his parents – and the meteorites – are hiding dark secrets that could spell the end of humanity.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away at a church camp in California, Heather Rhodes struggles with the guilt of a car accident she caused days earlier that took the life of a newborn. While the stars crash to Earth, Heather stumbles into newfound powers that she will need to save herself – and those around her – from certain destruction.
During the global crisis, the president of the United States makes it her personal mission to keep the country on the right track by implementing – and enforcing – the Falling Star Directives. Freedoms are slowly stripped from American citizens as the sides of friend and foe become blurred, and family turns against family in an attempt to show loyalty and support of the new laws.
But in the midst of the chaos, a dark realization begins to blossom, one that may have been discovered too late: the falling stars may not be stars at all…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. Assumed First Edition. 351 Pages. On the evening of his high school graduation, Nathan Pierce collapses on stage. Plagued with visions of a strange girl intent on killing herself, he wonders if his mental instability is a consequence of the deadly car accident he was in days earlier. Heather Rhodes, wracked with guilt because of the fatal wreck, finds she is unable to forgive herself and begins to question her own beliefs. While the death of a newborn weighs on her heart, on her mind is the strange gift she was able to use to protect her and Nathan in the accident.a gift that Heather wonders may have just been a figment of her imagination. Cynthia Ruin, aka The Pink Rabbit, decides that her high school graduation night should be used for partying, not walking down the football field. At a nightclub in Scottsdale, Cynthia finds more than she bargained for when a stranger from her past decides to exact his revenge on her for a prior rejection. All three come to realize that their current problems are nothing compared to the stars that are falling from the sky. During the global crisis, the President of the United States makes it her personal mission to keep the country on the right track to becoming a world superpower, while a hostile entity known only as Absolute threatens her administration. Meanwhile, word starts to spread that the falling stars may not be stars at all. N° de réf. du vendeur 22014
