The inhabitants of Aeon, a world lit by three suns, have never known darkness. An archaeological dig uncovers records of a past catastrophe that foretells a looming Nightfall, as the suns begin to vanish one by one. Panic spreads, and scientists must battle superstition to understand the approaching darkness that could end their civilization. The story adapts Isaac Asimov’s classic “Nightfall”, voted the greatest science‑fiction story of all time.
