Synopsis

A dramatic new hard sci-fi epic from the author of the highly acclaimed Colony Mars & The Belt series. _____________________________ 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. This is their story.
