The Toba Super Volcano has erupted!The resultant worldwide Catastrophe exterminated most hominins, but a few individuals from different human species survived. The traumas experienced by the few survivors are described in the first book in the series: "Catastrophe! Survivors of the Super Volcano."The few survivors of the Clans and the Illoreaens finally find a refuge in the Chasm, where Orrox, MaGan and JaYan have to resolve the conflicts between the Clans from the Valley and the Illoreaens. They have to establish a new viable society in the Chasm, where they are protected from the continuing volcanic winter. The Illoreaens' advanced technologies and abilities promise a safe, comfortable future. The extinctions caused by the Catastrophe had eliminated the previous lethal threats posed by the other hominid species. Then Orrox learns of the existence and survival of ToXioNox and his SayTors, whose abilities dwarf his own. These ancient, previously unknown enemies of the Dynasty, are intent on killing him and all surviving Sensitives. Hiding from the enemy and their murderous slaves, new abilities are needed and must be developed urgently. Will the Clans be able to prepare a defense, and in time, and will they survive?The Illoreaen series of books are set at the time, 74 000 years ago, when the Toba Super volcano erupted in what is now Sumatra. It was the greatest Catastrophe to ever befall humankind, and all previous hominid species. It was the biggest Super Volcano for at least 25 000 000 years.
