'In the year 3000 the evil Humen are determined to destroy the power of Heaven, while the Residuals, a primitive race of people, live fearfully in the ruins of civilisation.

'In the midst of this hatred and fear is born a unique friendship that could change the course of history.

'The story begins six months after the end of Ferren and the Angel. Ferren and Miriael travel from tribe to tribe, encouraging the Residuals to join together in a Residual Alliance. They visit the tribe of the Nesters, who live near a mysterious City of the Dead, and the tribe of the Sea-Folk, who are at war with a flock of seagulls.

'Meanwhile, a terrifying new threat looms. A single Doctor marches in to take control of the Humen Camp at Bankstown. A giant in size, Doctor Saniette aims to become the sole worldwide leader of all Humen forces. He brings with him an army of Queen-Hypers and other newly developed secret weapons.

'Ferren and Miriael are helped by Kiet, a fierce young woman from the tribe of Nesters. Ferren is torn between his old feelings for Miriael and his new feelings for Kiet.

'Miriael herself is attracted to Asmodai, a beautiful male angel who visits her in secret. Asmodai offers to help Miriael reestablish contact with Heaven. He too shares a dream of cooperation between Heaven and the Residuals. The story builds up to a shocking revelation, a desperate rescue and a final confrontation with 'the white Doctor'.'

Works about this Work

Children of the Apocalypse Roslyn Weaver , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Apocalypse in Australian Fiction and Film : A Critical Study 2011; (p. 108-134)

This chapter explores apocalypse in children's literature with reference to literary attitudes to children, nature and dystopia. Examinations of works by Lee Harding, Victor Kelleher, and John Marsden then focus on how these writers adapt apocalyptic themes for a juvenile audience. Their novels display tyranny, large-scale catastrophe, invasion, and children in danger, and their apocalyptic settings reveal anxieties about isolation, invasion, Indigenous land rights and colonization.
