Are You the Superior Being?

The story begins with Veronica. She is a singer working for a rebellious organization fixed on deterring the Australian Pope's plans. She is living with her fiance and brother. The company finds that the way of destroying the Pope is by Veronica getting experimented on.
After Veronica gets abducted, the story splits to Reuben. He is coping with his mother's arrest by joining a gang and doing drugs. When the city gets destroyed, he teams up with Jessica, Mikey, Karishma and the rest of the characters from Veronica's story. They travel through the dilapidated city in search of survivors.
Once enough survivors are accumulated, everyone starts to live in the wilderness. They face Sangworms, which are blood sucking parasites that turn you into zombies. They meet Sheva and Shaddrach who are soldiers in search of a promised land (Celsta). They also discovered a radio with communication to Australia. They are led to a safe haven. Stephen, Veronica's fiance, begins falling in love with Jessica after getting infected with a deadly virus.
We come back to Veronica who is in outerspace being experimented on. She wakes up with superpowers that she can't understand. Her goal is to escape the outerspace facility and make it back home. There are many obstacles and traps that she must overcome and fight lots of people. This sequence in the book is similar to "Escape the Night," "Resident Evil," "Three Percent," or "Saw." After she overcomes all the tests and booby traps and fights other super powered people and creatures, she learns just what this evil Pope is really thinking and gets inside his sick, demented thought-process which is seemingly Biblical or Catholic in nature. She finally makes it back to Earth, but there is nothing left.
