Making Humanity New Again — Susan Hart

In the aftermath of an apocalyptic catastrophe, the world lay barren, a desolate wasteland devoid of life—or so it seemed. Among the ruins, a ragtag group of five unlikely survivors emerged, bound by the cruel twist of fate that had spared them from oblivion. They were Whiskers, a scrappy tabby cat, prowled the crumbling streets, her feline instincts heightened as she navigated the treacherous landscape. Her once-pampered existence reduced to a primal struggle for survival. And Jack and Emily, a young couple torn apart by the cataclysm, found solace in each other's company amidst the desolation. Their love, once a blossoming romance, now a beacon of hope in a world gone mad. As well as Marcus, who was born blind and had never truly seen the world, but his other senses were finely tuned, guiding him through the wreckage with an almost supernatural awareness. His disability, once a burden, now a secret weapon in this harsh new reality.And then there was Zyx, an alien being whose spacecraft had crashed on Earth during the apocalyptic event. Stranded on a foreign world, its very existence was a mystery to the human survivors.
