Matt Bone

This book begins with the story of John who wakes up as the last human alive on Earth and the the desolation he sees and feels. That is until he is suddenly transported to another world called Crescent that is very unlike our own. He must fight against powers he does not understand to save that world from a fate worse than ours faced. He finds new friends and new abilities along the way.
