The Quiet Earth

Scientist Zac Hobson wakes up one day to find that everybody has disappeared. He believes that this is due to a project he and his team have been working on with (or for) the US.

In the beginning, he is going a little crazy, wearing a woman's nightgown and holding speeches to cut-out figures of famous personalities. Gradually, his senses come back and one day he chances upon another human being, Joanne. Together the set out to check the surrounding towns for any other survivors.

That is how they meet Api. After a while they figure out that the disappearance of the world population happened through some 'effect' caused by the project Zac was a part of. The reason the three of them are still alive is that at the precise moment the effect took place, they were about to die. Hence, their deaths kept them alive.

Zac calculates that the effect is about to repeat itself and figure out a plan to influence the outcome. The plan involves a truckload full of explosives. Of course, them being a group of two men and one women, eventually their relationship gets strained.

Whereas the character Zac is somewhat amusing and likable, I strongly disliked both, Joanna and Api.
