The Archaeologists of Tomorrow

Four centuries after humanity fled a dying Earth, the research vessel Daedalus returns to the cradle world with a team of archaeologists seeking the truth of what was left behind. But when Dr. Lena Kade and her crew uncover vast archives of films, comics, and stories depicting an "Age of Monsters and Heroes," they must confront a devastating realization: the past they believed they understood was built on fiction, and the real history lies buried in the ordinary lives of people who simply tried to survive—and love—through the end of the world.
