Luca

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

While drilling deep for oil in South Africa, Frank Mercer discovers a computer chip embedded in ancient rock. It's the last message of a dying civilization and tells of a toxic interstellar Cloud larger than the sun that engulfs the Earth once every three billion years, destroying all life and restarting evolution with a clean slate. And now it’s back. With all the resources of a global mega-corporation, Mercer conceives a plan to keep the Cloud a secret, gather a select group of individuals in his private bunker and restart civilization under his control. Billions will die. Only the science prodigy Qaara Kapoor stands in his way. She escapes with Jedd, a castoff from the slums, to warn the world and save as many as she can. On the other side of the world, 14-year-old Luca lives in squalor at a prison for schizophrenic girls born a century after the Japanese nuclear disaster in Fukushima. The radiation gave her a special mutation: the thoughts of others play as voices in her mind. One night, she makes mental contact with the Cloud on its approach to Earth. It’s alive, hungry and searching. As Qaara and Jedd fight Mercer, they all come to the same conclusion. Luca is the key to everything.
