Description:
Fifty years previously, Earth's nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri, exploded. The first wave of radiation to hit the earth wiped out all unshielded microcircuits and brought technology to a halt. Now, on a world still struggling to rebuild itself, the worst is yet to come. For following the radiation wave is a storm of high-energy particles which can tear through flesh and steel like bullets. If left unshielded, the earth will die -- its people killed and its atmosphere ionized. Only a bold team of engineers can stem the tide, as they race against time to construct a shield around the planet.
Expand description
And amidst a mounting hysteria fueled by murders, power struggles, and global conspiracies, one scientist and his assistant keep uncovering disturbing information. For one thing, the wave is traveling faster than anticipated. For another, it is coming in a form that will rip through the growing shield as if it were tissue paper. And, worst, increasing evidence seems to indicate that the wave is not at all of natural origins....
