Oomphel in the Sky
'Oomphel in the Sky' Summary
The inhabitants of Kwannon, a distant planet, are convinced that their world is about to end. Driven by fear and misinformation, they take actions that might inadvertently bring about the very apocalypse they dread. The planet's government is bogged down in bureaucracy, unable to effectively address the crisis. The military, overwhelmed and struggling to cope, finds itself increasingly ineffective. Amidst this chaos, a lone newsman emerges. He faces the daunting task of challenging the prevailing narrative, exposing the truth, and potentially saving his people from their self-inflicted doom.Book Details
