Coghan, a young Breath Hunter, is sent out on his first mission to collect breathable air for the Dome, one of humanity’s last bastions. But in a world where a toxic atmosphere blocks out the sun, acid rain corrodes metal, and the wind blows away anything else remaining, a single misstep can be your last.
And when everyone looks only after themselves, whom can you trust? Can you hope humanity will learn from its mistakes?
Suit up with Coghan and brave through the toxic hell that is the legacy of a society that killed their own planet!

Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

“Tox” by Harken Void is a hauntingly vivid portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world where humanity’s past indiscretions have come to roost. The narrative is a chilling reminder of the consequences of environmental neglect, and Void paints a bleak yet compelling picture of a world on the brink of total collapse.

The protagonist, Coghan, stands as a beacon of resilience in this dystopian landscape. As a Breath Hunter, his perilous quest for breathable air is a testament to the lengths humanity will go to survive. Void’s depiction of a sunless world, plagued by acid rain and a toxic atmosphere, is both harrowing and eerily plausible. Coghan’s journey is fraught with danger, but it’s his internal battle – a struggle between self-preservation and the remnants of human compassion – that truly captivates the reader.

Harken Void’s “Tox” is a masterclass in dystopian fiction. The narrative serves as a stark warning about the fragility of our environment and the potential consequences of unchecked human greed. With its riveting plot and thought-provoking themes, “Tox” is an essential read for anyone who cherishes our planet and believes in the power of redemption.
