Summary

To Dust We Shall ReturnIn the near post apocalyptic future, the balance of nature tips the wrong way. No one thinks about how much we depend on being able to grow food for ourselves. Until we can't anymore. A disease has infected every growing plant on Earth. Fruits trees and vegetables alike are dying in every corner of the globe. The few plants that survive have proven poisonous. As the plants we depend on die, they are also killing off all animal life.

 
Before we can come to terms with what is happening, the world's population dies off from six billion to just over one million, give or take. No one knows for sure because people don't seek each other out. Most people hide and scrounge for the necessities of life. The people who still gather together in groups are either gangs, or cannibals searching for other people to feed their bellies.

 
Allison Mason walks the streets of what was once New York City. On the run from the Nibblers--the Cannibals--and trying to survive one more day, she stumbles on a secret that might save humanity.

 
Or usher in its final days.

Well... undefended can mean many things. In this case, humans have colonized many worlds and found many surprisingly human like races among the stars. But when these human colonies are threatened and even viciously attacked by really alien civilizations, earth does nothing to help them. Earth, fat, rich earth sits back and lets her own colonies be practically wiped out, claiming a neutrality that seems a thin veil for cowardice and deceit. How this happens and what really does 'Victory' mean?  the story behind this question is what this exciting story is all about
