Book Description
'Excellent, exactly how good science fiction should be- gripping story, beautifully told, while at the same time being scientifically well-informed.' tweeted RICHARD DAWKINS. 'Reminiscent of vintage Arthur C. Clarke . . . has a chilling, nail-biting authenticity' said JAMES LOVEGROVE in the Financial Times. From renowned theoretical physicist, broadcaster and author Jim Al-Khalili, comes this thrilling debut novel drawing on cutting-edge science and set in a near-future full of dazzling technologies. 2041 and the world as we know it grinds to a halt. Our planet seems to be turning against itself - it would appear that the magnetic field, that protects life on Earth from deadly radiation from space, is failing . . . Desperate to quell the mass hysteria that would surely follow, world governments have concealed this rapidly emerging Armageddon. But a young Iranian hacktivist stumbles across the truth, and it becomes a race against time to reactivate the earth's core using beams of dark matter. As a small team of brave and brilliant scientists battle to find a way of transforming theory into practice, they face a fanatical group intent on pursuing their own endgame agenda- for they believe mankind to be a plague upon this earth and will do anything, commit any crime, to ensure that the project fails . . . And so bring about humanity's end.

Book Description
The night sky has stopped bleeding. Everyone has made it home safe, if not sound. The National Guard has arrived with food and water. The people of Snow Hill have an opportunity to prepare for winter, and what lies beyond. But the desperation, violence, and fear haven't abated. Break-ins and vandalism terrify the residents. Thieves slip between houses in the thick of night. People are turning up dead. Using his expanded powers, the Mayor creates a new local police force to bring the townspeople under his control. Not everyone appreciates the effort. It soon becomes clear that when a malevolent government tightens its grip, it is liberty that suffers. There's a storm on the horizon, but no one sees it coming. A kind old woman will find neighbors can become enemies, an old war dog will show he still has teeth, and a monster will recover his humanity.
