From the international bestselling author of "Colony Mars" and "The Belt" series. As a once-in-a-millennium solar storm ravages the vast satellite constellations that blanket Earth, young engineer Renton Hicks and his fellow crew take refuge in the shielded radiation compartment onboard their lunar maintenance ship — and slowly realize that they, and the thousands who live and work on the Moon, will never see home again. Back on Earth, Dr. Han Sundar, Senior Analyst at the Space Debris Tracking Network, crunches the numbers again, and again, and again but still gets the same cataclysmic results — total societal collapse. Then he calls his wife, packs the car, and heads for the hills. For the panicked populations on both the Moon and Earth, now caught in the grinding gears of this unfolding catastrophe, only one brutal choice remains — survive or die. What Amazon readers are saying: ‘Wow! What a journey this is… a complex weaving of space, engineering, Luna, and most of all, humanity.’ (Top 500 reviewer) ‘Edge of the seat stuff pretty well for the whole book.’ ‘The best scfi book I've read in ages!’ ‘Amazing. Really enjoyed reading this book as much as I have all of Kilby’s books’ ‘Kicks into overdrive to the point where it is nearly impossible to put down’ Edge of the seat stuff pretty well for the whole book.’ ‘Very well written, fantastically created, and quite believable. Very hard to put down. Can't wait for the next book in the series.’ This is a clever and fascinating take on Moon survival after a massive solar storm hits Earth. Good solid characters, and fast moving pace........it's a ripper of a yarn.’ One of those books you can't put down.’ About Solar Storm: This is the first book in a Sci-Fi series exploring the consequences of the mass destruction of the vast constellations of satellites in Earth's orbit. Firstly, the population on Earth would be plunged into chaos as virtually all communications networks would cease to function, along with all financial systems — no way to pay for your latte ;-). Secondly, consider what would happen to all those intrepid lunar colonists if travel back to Earth was now impossible. The science depicted in the series is, for the most part, plausible. In other words, it's technically possible with either current technology or by taking experimental research a step or two further. That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide rule to enjoy the story.
