2033. The first alien radio transmissions have been received on Earth—a torrent of encrypted information that no human or computer can crack. But the decision to reply is made, and messages of goodwill are beamed into deep space. Thirty years later, just as humankind is expecting a reply from the aliens, the signals disappear. Then scientists detect a space cloud approaching the solar system at high speed. Immense in size, immeasurable in power, this blazing storm of energy is on a collision course with Earth. As one man desperately struggles to decode the original transmissions, Earth prepares to launch a nuclear attack against a seemingly unstoppable foe. As the cloud rages through the solar system, the alien code is finally broken—and mankind realizes that the enemy is far closer than they knew….

Extinction

In 2066 the Earth`s overheated ecosphere is running out of control. The seas are rising, crops are failing, humanity is dying.
The weather-control satellites of the ERGIA Corporation are keeping the planet from total meltdown, but only just - and only for those countries that can pay. The rest of the world struggles for survival in a climatic chaos that worsens by the day.
Millions have died. Millions more have fled - but time, like space, is running out. As ERGIA hosts a prestigious opening ceremony for its moon-base command centre, seismic disruption on Earth suddenly increases exponentially. Massive earthquakes spawn mega-tsunamis and the world`s volcanic mountain ranges start to erupt in an explosive chain-reaction.
Trapped on the Moon, visiting world leaders can only watch helplessly as a shroud of fire and ash obscures the Earth from view. For now they have escaped, but as their supplies dwindle the survivors realise they must return to Earth to save their own lives. But how will they ever get home - and what are they likely to find there?
`Bigger than epic. This dazzling vision of global chaos in a future war against eco-terror, explodes off the page with the dramatic force of a smart bomb` Daily Express
