Publisher's Synopsis
As Planet Nine nears the sun, NASA is forced to reveal its covert space shuttle Nighthawk. While man can do nothing to help the intelligent life trapped on the doomed planet, we can retrieve a data capsule they place in orbit around our moon. Aaron and Holly, ex-Shuttle pilots and estranged lovers, are eager to get back into space. Bill Mackenzie, an investigative reporter and television host, refuses to sit ideally by and let the biggest news story in history, alien contact, slip through his fingers. Bill vows to scoop the story by reporting it "live," even if he has to spiral into the sun with the aliens. Planet Nine's surface is covered with ice, which begins to melt as the planet nears the sun. Soon her ancient cities are once again exposed to the light of day. Only then do both species, human and alien, learn of the horrors committed by the ancient Avesians in the final days of their dystopian world.
