Synopsis
A strange siren-song sounds around the world and in an instant humankind shrinks to the height of a handspan. Everyone wakes up tiny: in years to come the moment will be known as The Descent.
Many do not survive. This story is about what happens to those who do.
Those who wake to find themselves transformed, the world around them reshaped and magnified into a place of astounding abundance and deadly peril.
Who travel their altered lands and must adapt, forge new communities, or fight against them.
Those who will come to know the Godlike force that has been awakened, not in the skies as we've been taught to expect, but in the oceans below . . .
Welcome to the micropcalypse. Welcome to The Expanded Earth.
