Publisher's Synopsis
David S. Jones has an important story to tell that could help us choose the correct path forward which, if he can make people listen, may avert an impending catastrophe of biblical proportions.
A devastating lapse of protocol allows a lethal super virus to escape from a scientific laboratory. This virus, which is harmless to humans, gets into the fuel supply chain where it contaminates all petroleum based fuels, rendering them inert. The virus spreads rapidly and is unstoppable. The aftermath of this catastrophe is overwhelming, plunging privileged modern society into anarchic freefall.
'Halo Around The Moon' narrates the colossal impact that this has on one group of individuals. It is centred on England although the repercussions would be felt globally by billions. We follow the group who are forced to abandon all that they hold precious, making an unparalleled sacrifice in order to allow some normality to emerge, after an eighteen month period of horror, when they can begin rebuilding civilisation. They struggle to stay alive, fighting not only hunger and disease but also lethal gangs of anarchists who have formed into armed guerrilla bands led by ruthless warlords. This is the story of their horrendous ordeal, their battle against adversity, demonstrating the strength of human endurance, tenacity and resourcefulness.
The consequences from this impending disaster are real, imminent and truly horrifying.
