Centuries after a cataclysmic event, mankind is divided into an utopian prison and a dystopian dictatorship. This discordant world must now unite to cripple the SUN Council… or face mass extinction.
In the year 2036, solar storms batter Earth crippling electrical infrastructures across the globe. Night falls and the ensuing pandemonium claims millions of lives, catapulting the world into chaos.
In the midst of this global turmoil a hero emerges. The altruistic SUN Council intercedes, constructing enormous domes on each continent to protect the world’s population from the radioactive CME’s of the incessant solar storms.
But not everyone makes it to the domes. In an attempt to survive the deadly radiation, hundreds of thousands of people dig into the earth, living in squalor under an oppressive military dictatorship.
Now centuries later, the final stage of the SUN Council’s plan to decimate the world’s population approaches. But as victory glimmers on the horizon, two women from discordant halves of this new world start to unravel the conspiracy.
"A fantastic read that kept me engrossed from start to finish. The outcomes of the various plots in the story are unpredictable and draw you in with your own assumptions making this an extremely interesting read."
"I think it's because too often sci-fi novels are drawn into the epic scope of things but you lose the people in the process. This novel puts it's characters front and centre, introducing them from their humble beginnings all the way to their eventual confrontation.
I loved the setting a realistic futuristic world that wasn't too shiny or new, but really felt lived in."
"I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this genre. So, mark your calendars. Last I heard, this book is going to come out on Dec 13th, and I'm positive the story is going to get a lot of fans."
"The two contrasting societies are superbly defined and highly believable and the tale is complex and entertaining, reminding me of Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’ series or the classic ‘Foundation’ trilogy by Asimov. A must-read for lovers of quality sci-fi. "
