Publisher's Synopsis
The Mayans knew of its great destructive power, "The Angry One", they had called it.James Hollins had been wrong before and it had cost him his reputation. In fact, it is why he now holds the job that no one else wants, isolated, pushed aside and forgotten about, an astronomer at The Armstrong Observatory on the Moon. As he carries out his duties, he soon discovers that the rogue planemo, Ronin, a drifter through space, is heading towards our solar system. But, with James's credibility in tatters and the ridicule still felt after his false data detected an asteroid heading for earth ten years ago, who will listen to him now? James manages to transfer all of the information to a childhood friend, one of the Presidents aides, but when she is involved in a car accident before she can deliver the message, it becomes clear that someone on Earth is already aware of the situation and would rather nobody else found out. This is confirmed when the comms system is destroyed and all contact between the Moon and Earth is severed. With no way of warning Earth of its fate, all attention is turned to The Ark project.
