The Case of Garland Hillier
- Bernadette Del Curre, an eschatology expert, investigated Garland Hillier's rediscovered apartment.
- Hillier, a Millerite follower, disappeared after publishing an essay predicting humanity's replacement by 'The Inheritors'.
A Changed Paris
- Inside, Bernadette felt a strange peace and quiet, but found little new information about Hillier.
- Leaving, she found the door inexplicably whole and the stairwell discolored and sticky, emerging into a Paris filled with mummified corpses.
A New Power: The Extinction
- Dekker argues this new power differs from existing ones; it's the fear of extinction, not just the end.
- This fear reflects humanity's potential for self-destruction through climate change, technology, or other means.
