Distant Suns

Two astronomers discover a massive cloud of hydrogen approaching the Solar System and realise it is on a collision course with Earth.

At a high-ranking meeting to discuss their findings they are sworn to secrecy. It isn’t long though, before their young, but brilliant, apprentice, Lauren, discovers the impending catastrophe. As the true horror is revealed she must soon make a decision which will turn her world upside down…

A runaway global warming crisis revolves around more horrific problems which emerge due to the birth of another sun in our Solar System.

Distant Suns is a heart-wrenching, apocalyptic, thriller about love, self-sacrifice and the human ability to adapt and survive in the face of impending extinction.

Praise for Distant Suns:“The subject matter of your book couldn’t be more topical or timely and I found the central premise of your story to be fascinating. All the material in your book to do with the gas clouds, asteroids, superheating, etc., is absolutely brilliant. You manage to put across very simply some ideas that I am sure are actually quite complicated. The inclusion later on in the narrative of those short scenes from various corners of the world helps to establish the global impact of the story. It also opens the narrative out, lending it a pleasing cinematic feel and creating a sense of urgency and community. ” – TLC

“Both Cindy, our publisher, and I agree that the novel is wonderful…” – Ed Lord
