Part two of the Searching for the Eminent trilogy, Towards the Apocalypse begins five years after the events of March of the Meek. It continues the intertwined story of Rekco Curse, Cathy Wyman, and Kyoku as they seek to survive in the last inhabited city on the planet—Last Thesi. As the coming apocalypse draws nearer, each of them must find their place in the world and decide whether they will fight for its fate or allow nature to take its course.

Tensions in Last Thesi rise as the Madness, a disease with no known cause or cure, continues to afflict its people, always resulting in the same outcome: death. Born from the chaos, a new group of apocalyptic fanatics known as the Doombringers seek to bring terror to the city. After their attack on one of the runic towers is broadcasted over the radio for all the city to witness, Rekco's frustrations will lead him to make a desperate decision. How will his chance encounter with the scholar, Dim Smithy, come to change his fate and the fates of all those around him?

Come along for the adventure of a lifetime as Rekco, Cathy, and Kyoku explore and unravel the mysteries of Last Thesi—both inside and out! Venture to the high-tech High District; to Runic Caverns; to the jungles of Gendoli; the dark waters of the Shattered Coast; and underground civilizations—those lost and those hidden away. Will their journeys bring them closer to hidden truths that will save their dying world or simply push them toward the apocalypse?
