Turning thirty is meant to be a milestone, but for some, it's the beginning of an unfathomable nightmare. Without warning, they are spirited away in their sleep, waking on a strange, alien world. A disembodied voice, broadcast through unseen tannoy systems, dictates their lives, their every move monitored. Those who dare to question or defy the unseen authority simply vanish, only to return days later, their spirit broken and their obedience absolute. Amidst this surreal existence, a group of these unwilling colonists must unravel the enigma of their new reality. Who brought them here? Why were they chosen? And what sinister purpose lies behind their enforced existence? As they navigate the bizarre landscape and the ever-present threat of disappearance, they begin to uncover fragmented clues and unsettling patterns. The mystery deepens with every revelation, forcing them to confront not only the external forces controlling them but also the hidden aspects of their own pasts. 'Thirty' is a gripping mystery that plunges readers into a world of suspense, where the search for answers is as perilous as the unknown itself, and the greatest mystery might be humanity's own place in the cosmos.
