Description: Will the world end in the 21st century?

In this 155,000-word techno-thriller, astrophysicist Greg Sorensen discovers an inexplicable object, a faint star he intuitively believes to be “Nemesis”—the sun’s twin star, returning to our galaxy after a 13 million year journey. Few scientists, including his astronomer friend, Audrey Asher, believe him. Greg is convinced that the recent increase in catastrophic events on the Earth can be explained by the approach of Nemesis. These cataclysmic events had, in fact, already spurred the development of a safe harbor for world leaders—Genesis, an underwater city in the North Sea.

Valerie Chapman, an intimate friend of Greg’s, discovers a comet that may be headed toward Earth. Greg believes that Nemesis may have unleashed the Chapman Comet as well as other comets in the Oort cloud—located in the outer boundary of the solar system. Meanwhile, the President of the United States is seeking a way for world domination. The Earth appears doomed either from the unleashing of an EMP weapon or the impact of a comet. What will happen?
