Description

Blurb:
Kasumi and her sister, Shizuku, were infected with the Medusa virus, which slowly eats away at the body. There is no cure, but of the two only Kasumi is selected to go into a cryogenically frozen state along with 159 others until a cure is found. In the undetermined future, Kasumi awakens to find herself and others, who were in suspended animation in an unfamiliar world with bloodthirsty monsters. Kasumi struggles to survive in a treacherous world in order to unlock its mysteries and learn the fate of her twin sister.
Die Welt ist von einer tödlichen Krankheit namens Medusa bedroht, die sich rasend schnell ausbreitet. Die Zellen der Infizierten fangen an zu »versteinern« und kurze Zeit später tritt der Tod ein. Auch das Mädchen Kasumi ist infiziert. Zusammen mit einer Gruppe ausgewählter Patienten wird sie in eine Art Tiefschlaf versetzt, bis ein Gegenmittel gefunden ist. Aber als die Gruppe unerwartet erwacht, ist nichts mehr wie es war.
Texto de presentación:
Aquellos infectados por la "medusa", enfermedad que azota el mundo, se sumergen en el estado de animación suspendida dentro de una institución sita en un antiguo castillo reformado. Sin embargo, cuando vuelven a abrir los ojos, el castillo resulta haberse convertido en unn lugar en ruinas poblado por feroces monstruos... La protagonista, Kasumi, se ve rodeada por dos peligros de muerte: el de la extraña enfermedad y el de las despiadadas criaturas. ¡¡Empieza ahora el drama de la huida hacia la vida en un antiguo castillo repleto de zarzales!!

Poco a poco el cuerpo se va secando, volviéndose rígido, hasta alcanzar la consistencia de una estatua de arcilla capaz de romperse en pedazos con el menor golpe... así ataca Medusa, la enfermedad que está arransando con la población mundial. Con la esperanza de poder ser curadas en el futuro, 160 personas serán criogenizadas. Unos pocos despertarán en un futuro incierto y lleno de espinas.

Testo della bandella:
Uno strano e implacabile virus si sta diffondendo sulla Terra. Poiché ha il macabro effetto di “pietrificare” le persone, viene battezzato “Medusa”. Centosessanta persone contagiate vengono selezionate per essere ibernate in un laboratorio ricavato da un antico castello ristrutturato in attesa che il progresso della scienza possa trovare un rimedio. Ma quando, dopo un tempo indefinito, avviene il loro risveglio, questi si trovano di fronte a una sorpresa inquietante: non c’è ombra di un essere umano vivo nei dintorni, e, come se non bastasse, il laboratorio è ora infestato da giganteschi rovi e creature mostruose aggressive e sanguinarie. Solo un piccolo, eterogeneo gruppo di sette persone riesce in qualche modo a sopravvivere e a fuggire dal laboratorio. Fra di essi, Kasumi, una ragazza delle superiori colpita dal virus assieme alla sorella gemella, che però non ebbe la “fortuna” di essere selezionata per l’esperimento, e Marco Owen, un mastodontico e misterioso galeotto temuto da tutti.
