COMING 2027 - Sleepers of Earth: A World No Longer Ours

The world didn’t end. Humanity did.

When Commander Ta’lor Davidson awakens from cryosleep deep inside a forgotten military installation, nothing is as it should be.

The systems are dead. Time is missing. And the world outside is … alive.

Centuries have passed. Earth has reclaimed itself—forests choke steel, rivers rewrite continents, and something new watches from the shadows. Humanity is no longer in control. It may not even be relevant.

Worse still … she’s not alone. A new intelligence walks the Earth. Capuchins—once small forest primates—have evolved, organized, and inherited the planet. They’ve been waiting. Watching. Protecting something humanity left behind.

And when Davidson discovers a faint signal from another survivor—one of thousands still trapped in cryosleep across the world—she must make an impossible choice:

• Fight to reclaim a world that no longer belongs to her species
• Or learn to survive within one that has already moved on.

But something else is out there. Something older than the rewilded Earth. Something that knew humanity would fall. And it may be watching them now.

For fans of The Last of Us, Children of Time, and Project Hail Mary
