Publisher's Synopsis
From the chart-topping author of the "Colony Mars" and "The Belt" series comes an explosive new sci-fi epic that redefines the brutal reality of space.
In space, all that matters is survival.
Rapid colonization of the Moon is pushing both national space agencies and powerful corporations to negotiate a New Lunar Accord in an effort to prevent escalating conflicts over valuable resources and territory.
But hope that this treaty will bring stability to the nascent lunar civilization is suddenly dashed when a high-energy solar storm causes a cascade of destruction to the vast satellite constellations that orbit Earth. Now it's only a matter of weeks before the ever-increasing debris cloud makes travel back to the home planet impossible.
Panic soon begins to grip the lunar population as they scramble to evacuate, all fearing that they could be stranded on the Moon with no prospect of ever returning to Earth. But for some, those caught in the grinding gears of the unfolding chaos, the situation becomes much worse. For them, it's simply a matter of survival.

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.
