Mei

One moment the seat beside her was full. The next, it was empty.

Mei boarded an ordinary flight expecting nothing more than a long journey and a cramped seat. Then, high above the clouds, the impossible happens.

The passenger beside her is simply gone. Across the aisle, more empty seats. Clothes lie folded where people sat. A childs teddy bear rests alone. There was no scream, no crash, no warning. Just silence, and then the panic of those who are still there.

Trapped in the sky with frightened strangers and no answers, Mei can only wait to land in a world that has just lost millions in a single instant. And when she does, shell have to face the question everyone left behind is asking. Where did they go? And why was she left here?

Haunting, suspenseful and deeply moving, Mei is an end-times story of courage, faith and finding hope in the darkest hour the world has ever known.
