Publisher's Synopsis
The German astronomer, Wolfgang Gleissberg, analysed sunspot activity & discovered a life threatening sun cycle eruption every 100 years reoccurring regularly over the last 3000 years. Severe radiation from the sun's Gleissberg Centennial Mass Eruption is due to hit Earth in 2045. Destruction of power supplies & dependant electrical machines is a certain outcome. Satnavs will burn up. The US president has demanded that man lands on Mars by 2045, despite warnings that the rocket powered mission will be fatal. Separately, British & French engineers have built nuclear fusion powered spacecraft to cut the Mars rocket journey time from eight months to five days. British test flights have suffered alien interference originating from the Langrange Points stationery on the Earth's orbit, but a test flight to the Martian orbit was successful. In 2045 the sun's surface erupts. The Gleissberg Extinction has begun.
