Solar Storm

Moon Base Delta, Book 1

By: Gerald M. Kilby

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

In space, all that matters is survival.

Rapid colonization of the moon is pushing both national space agencies and powerful corporations to negotiate a New Lunar Accord in an effort to prevent escalating conflicts over valuable resources and territory.

But hope that this treaty will bring stability to the nascent lunar civilization is suddenly dashed when a high-energy solar storm causes a cascade of destruction to the vast satellite constellations that orbit Earth. Now it’s only a matter of weeks before the ever-increasing debris cloud makes travel back to the home planet impossible.

Panic soon begins to grip the lunar population as they scramble to evacuate, all fearing that they could be stranded on the moon with no prospect of ever returning to Earth. But for some, those caught in the grinding gears of the unfolding chaos, the situation becomes much worse. For them, it’s simply a matter of survival.

This is their story.

Solar Storm is a dramatic new hard sci-fi epic from the author of the highly acclaimed Colony Mars & The Belt series.

Interesting story line and characters

I enjoyed this book enough to finish the series. Not the best but not the worst.

Details and character interaction a bit confusing

I needed more of the back story why the disconnect of the various group associations

Pretty good disaster in space book.

In the vein of any of the many disasters on earth movies/books but on the moon. A simple, fun book. The reader doesn't do a lot of really different voices but Mr Kafer has a good voice for story telling.

This series is awesome!

I highly recommend all three books in the Moon Base Delta Series. The author keeps it scientifically realistic and exciting at the same time. I learned a lot about space physics listening to the books. I've now devoured all of his books: this series, the Mars series, and the Belt series. All are good reads, but the Moon Base Delta Series is the best.

Great story

Like the characters especially and the great descriptions of life on the moon and the challenges of losing power, etc on the earth and moon. The story presents the good and the bad sides of humanity creating very interesting adventures
