When colossal alien structures appear above the world’s major cities, humanity receives an impossible message: Earth is dying.
The ships hovering over the planet—soon nicknamed slabs—have come to carry humanity to a new world. But there’s a catch: together, they can take just 0.1% of the global population.
The rest will be left behind.
As governments race to secure places aboard the slabs, society begins to unravel. Borders close. Martial law spreads. Nuclear tensions rise. Scientists, engineers, military strategists, and political elites become the most valuable people on Earth.
Henry Essex isn’t one of them.
A former covert operative turned elite security contractor, Henry is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer on the same day the slabs arrive. With only months to live, he knows he won’t survive long enough for it to matter.
Then the U.S. government offers him one final mission: retrieve Dr. Anna Berg—a brilliant botanist whose research could help humanity survive on an alien world—and Henry’s estranged daughter and granddaughter will be guaranteed passage aboard the American slab.
But rival nations are hunting Anna too. The world is collapsing by the hour. And the deeper Henry gets into the mission, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because in the race to save humanity, those in power still decide who gets to live.
Point One Percent is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller about survival, sacrifice, and what happens when the future is no longer meant for everyone. Perfect for fans of Children of Men and Arrival.
