Eight Minutes - by Gregory N Whitis (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"The Sun will last another five billion years," agreed all the world's scientists-except two.

After a massive solar flare wipes out nearly everything more complex than jumper cables, the Sun dims, and Earth's climate begins to rival that of Mars. The U.S. government, led by a distant presidential successor, takes shelter in a bunker, grappling with life-threatening global conditions as humanity is tossed back into the Stone Age.

While the Raven Rock Mountain Complex is isolated, the rest of the world slowly devolves into a cosmic snowball. Recognized as an extinction-level event, a team of four embarks on a mission to rekindle the Sun using the world's most powerful nuclear missile. Alex Tate, his quirky sidekick Mick Moore, and two war-hardened federal agents, Hans Jupp and Dirk Karsten, brave a frozen wasteland, encountering friendly preppers and dangerous thugs. Quincy and Teedarius, marooned at a remote Arkansas catfish processing plant, provide comic relief during their engaging struggle for survival.

Eight Minutes is a gritty, fast-paced romp through a realistic apocalypse. You'll never take the next sunrise for granted.
