on EMPTY EARTH!
Empty Earth II takes this adventure into an underground world. Several years after their epic journey, Eva and Adam seek refuge underground with their teenage son Jeff, as they escape Earth's devastated surface. They discover a subterranean society rigidly divided into three levels - the wealthy elite above, the middle class below the wealthy, and laborers below the middle class. But what shocks them most is finding something they thought was lost forever--an obsession from the old world that still consumes everyone's attention and is threatening to repeat humanity's past mistakes even in this hidden realm.
Empty Earth III is the final installment in this trilogy. Eva, Adam, and their son, Jeff, learn to adapt and change, as they try to find a way to survive again on the surface of the earth.
