Jubilee Year Gerard O\'neill

Publisher Marketing: The dark swirling core of a single empty eye stared back at them. Black beyond all blackness. It sat on the edge of the world as if content not to slide beneath the horizon. Gaping out them in all its emptiness. A nothingness around which captured starlight streamed. A fearsome beautiful oval of silver and ebony. Like Al Hajar Al, the black stone of Mecca lying on its side. Michael could not tear himself away. He was weeping. Sergeant MacKay struggled to maintain his grip on reality. One part of him wanted to run until he found a hole to crawl into. He was trying. Oh, he was trying so very hard. "Where's the Sun gone?" Storm lives in a small New South Wales country town beside one of the most famous telescopes in the world. When he falls for Penny, the daughter of the chief scientist and director on Mount Woorat, he's sucked into the center of a global conspiracy. Eighteen-year-old Storm must keep himself and those around him alive by using his wits, tenacity, and a special ability he tries to hide. He cannot do it alone, and yet others are not always who they seem. Of even more consequence, neither is the reality of a world he once thought he knew. Set in Australia and other locations around the world, Jubilee Year is a complete novel and is Book One of the Erelong trilogy. Book Two of this Dystopian SF series will be released in November."
