Its a science fiction adventure, but also Petra becoming a storyteller, modelled after Mexican folklore. It turns out its also not working with Petra Peña and she is now the last person who caries the stories and knowledge of Earth. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t seem to work with everyone during the hundred of years they try to reintegrate the people into their ‘new’ system, so they ‘Purge’ people. The Collective takes over the star ship and tries to erase everyone's memories. there is a twist: The star ship is filled with a bunch of nutters called the Collective who believe the comet is an ideal opportunity for humankind to start afresh. Petra's family, the Peña’s, are one of the lucky few families chosen to board (thanks to mum and dad Peña’s knowledge of certain subjects) make the several-hundred-year journey to a new planet. However, it turns out that that in 2061 a few star ships were built and ready to launch. To give you an idea of the story, (as the description I got wasn’t much to go on) Most of Earth's population is doomed, due to planets colliding and there is nothing that can be done to save them. The topics have some serious thinking material, because what if? … It's well written and full of twists and turns along the way. This story somehow stays with you like a dream, that crawling feeling under your skin, you can't shake.
