Nobody noticed as it swept around the globe -- until billions began to die. Then it got a name: The Lethargy. Over the following few years humanity came to the brink of extinction. Everyone just gave up, all interest in life relentlessly gnawed away.A select few survived. Marcus Wolfe, tyrant, oligarch and absolute ruler of The Commorancy was one of them. He remained Whole, then Awoke. Last bastion of hope, The Commorancy is all that stands between extinction, or the resurrection of the human race. But running such a Home is not without consequences, and Marcus has to fight daily with a madness that threatens his very reality -- nobody should live such an extended life. Letje finally gets accepted for one of The Rooms so embarks on a journey her 15 years on the planet have in no way prepared her for. Spinning heads, The Orientation Room, haughty goats and a man obsessed with changing his clothes at every available opportunity all seem rather normal in comparison to the danger that interrupts her Orientation when The Eventuals finally try to eradicate humankind once and for all. Now Marcus has to protect not only The Commorancy and his guests, but his own sanity as well.
