Invisible to every telescope on the
planet, a dark tongue
of cosmic dust raced toward the solar system, reaching up at cosmic
speeds from
the southern hemisphere. The
tongue was
narrow by galactic measure but it would collide with the sun and her
planets, and
in the process blot out the light from the sun.
The size of the cloud was not just narrow, but also
relatively
small - less than a smuge on the Milky Way map.
It would eventually drift through
and past the solar system in no time at all - a mere 300 years, but far
too late for
humanity. All would
perish, deep frozen
in a liquefied rain of nitrogen and oxygen that itself would eventually
freeze
solid, covering the planet with frozen gasses some 300 feet above sea
level.
It appeared to be an unavoidable fate
for all living species. The
dark cloud would blot out life-giving
sunlight and the earth would freeze near absolute zero in the total
darkness.
And yet, there was one chance at escape
for a
few. Unknown to
all, Aaron Seven had
already planned for this ultimate assault and engineered a warm cocoon
of life
on the distant but largest asteroid in the solar system – Ceres - if
they could
launch before the rain of dust prevented their escape.
But on a remote, tiny lunar
base, yet a second group of
survivors struggles against time as the sun begins to fade into the vast
darkness and their life support system falters. They too will
perish
unless they can communicate with a bizarre distant signal broadcast
from the
outer reaches of the asteroid belt and somehow arrange a
rescue.
In this fourth
Aaron Seven novel, Seven does what he does
best – wrest the ultimate survival of humanity against ultimate odds
and a
relentless clock that waits for no man.
