Publisher Marketing: The astronomers confidently predicted that the asteroid would miss Earth. They were wrong. On Friday 13th April 2029 it slams into the Sahara Desert, annihilating everything within a hundred miles. But this is only the beginning. A huge amount of dust is thrown up into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun across the planet. Soon temperatures begin to fall. As weather conditions worsen, the residents of the small market town need to make a decision - flee south to escape the weather, or wait for the worst to pass. Choosing to stay, D. I. Hannah Benson soon has more to worry about than keeping law and order. With power supplies failing and food scarce, it soon becomes a battle just to stay alive. And there are some that see it not as a crisis, but as an opportunity. Meanwhile, in St Ives, Cornwall, a lost sailor reappears after four months missing, presumed dead. Josh Gardner believes this could mean the existence of a new Time Bubble. With his girlfriend, Alice, he sets out to investigate, but their travel plans are soon disrupted by the deepening winter. Can they find the Bubble and use it to escape? Set ten years after the main events of The Time Bubble, this sequel takes place in parallel with events in the later stages of that story, also available from Amazon.
