Liam O'Connor mal zomrieť pri lodnej havárii v roku 1912. Maddy Carterová mala zomrieť pri leteckom nešťastí v roku 2010. Sal Vikramová mala zomrieť pri požiari v roku 2026. Dostali však druhú šancu. Pracujú pre Spoločnosť, o ktorej existencii nikto nevie. Majú jedinú úlohu: ochrániť dejiny, ako ich poznáme, a zneškodniť každého, kto sa pokúsi ich zmeniť. Keď Maddy omylom otvorí časový portál na mieste a v čase, kedy nemala, Liama to vrhne späť v čase o neuveriteľných 65 miliónov rokov, priamo doprostred lovísk doteraz neobjavených predátorov. Dokáže sa Liam spojiť s Maddy a Sal, skôr než ho usmrtia nebezpečné dinosaury a než spôsobí taký posun v dejinách, ktorý zničí našu realitu?

It begins on a very normal Monday morning. But in the space of only a few days, the world's oil supplies have been severed and at a horrifying pace things begin to unravel everywhere. This is no natural disaster—someone is behind this. Oil engineer Andy Sutherland is stranded in Iraq with a company of British soldiers, desperate to find a way home, trapped as the very infrastructure of daily life begins to collapse around him. Back in Britain, his wife Jenny is stuck in Manchester, fighting desperately against the rising chaos to get back to their children in London as events begin to spiral out of control—riots, raging fires, looting, rape, and murder. In the space of a week, London is transformed into an anarchic vision of hell. Meanwhile, a mysterious man is tracking Andy's family. He'll silence anyone who can reveal the identities of those behind this global disaster. The people with a stranglehold on the future of civilization have flexed their muscles at other significant tipping points in history, and they are prepared to do anything to keep their secret—and their power—safe.

Román Alexe Scarrowa Poslední světlo je čtenářsky mimořádně působivá a dramatická vize situace, jaká by nastala, kdyby skupina mocných zastavila přísun životadárné tekutiny, bez níž se dnes svět neobejde - ropy. Katastrofický scénář toho, co by nastalo či mohlo nastat, je tu viděn celosvětově, dějově je umístěn především do Velké Británie, kde se nájemný vrah snaží odstranit nepohodlnou dívku, která viděla strůjce tohoto plánu, a na Arabský poloostrov, kde se její otec snaží uniknout ze sevření místních teroristů. Vzrušující, událostmi nabitý děj má ovšem ještě jednu polohu. Odhaluje, jak v případě ohrožení, jestliže selhávají normy, na něž jsme zvyklí, lidé snadno a rychle ztrácejí svou slupku civilizace a projevují se těmi nejhoršími vlastnostmi, jak se davu bezradných a ohrožených zmocňuje nekontrolovatelný pud sebezáchovy v podobě ničení a bezohlednosti. Scarrow tak vytváří nejen atraktivní a mimořádně vzrušující čtení. Zároveň, a to stejně působivě, klade otázku připravenosti či přesněji nepřipravenosti člověka poradit si v krizové situaci, jež se vymyká jeho zvyklostem.
