Imagine a world where traveling from one place to another happens in the blink of an eye. No more long flights or grueling car rides-just instant travel to anywhere in the world. But what if that convenience came with a terrifying price? What if, in the process of instant travel, you weren’t the only one to arrive?

In The Final Departure: The Terrifying Reality of Instant Travel, dive into 35 dark, chilling, and mind-bending stories where the promise of instant travel unravels into a horrifying nightmare. Each story explores the terrifying consequences of a world where people use advanced technology to instantly transport themselves across the globe-only to discover that they are being cloned, and their original selves are left behind to die in the process.

From a woman who travels to visit her sick mother, only to find her original self dead and replaced by an emotionless clone, to a businessman who desperately tries to escape his past only to face a future he never wanted, The Final Departure offers a dark look at the perils of playing with technology we barely understand.

In these pages, you’ll encounter:

A father who dies without ever reaching his child, leaving a clone to face the grief of a life that isn’t truly his.
A soldier who thought he was coming home to safety, only to discover his clone stepping into his place, unable to escape the memories of a life cut short.
A group of friends who use the technology to visit a haunted mansion, but instead find themselves trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth, unable to break free from the nightmare they’ve created.

This collection of thought-provoking, disturbing tales will haunt you long after you turn the last page. Each story shows the devastating emotional and psychological cost of a world where instant travel is not the answer to our problems, but the cause of unimaginable horrors. What happens when the clone is forced to live the life of someone it can never truly be? What is the price of getting what we want without understanding the consequences?

In The Final Departure: The Terrifying Reality of Instant Travel, you’ll confront these questions, and more. With twisted twists, gut-wrenching scenarios, and chilling endings, this book is perfect for readers who love psychological thrillers, science fiction with a dark edge, and stories that challenge our understanding of what it means to truly live.

Will you risk everything for the promise of instant travel? Or will you realize too late the terrifying reality of what you might leave behind?

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
