PEACE IS AT HAND--THE PEACE OF DEATH
Just as the US and the USSR have finally settled their differences, American scientists discover that the Solar System is about to pass through a cloud of cosmic dust that will incite the Sun to a paroxysm of fury. All will die. There can be no escape--except, possibly, for a very few. This is their story.
WHO WILL SURVIVE?
Russ Corey--Financier and founder of the Moon's first self-sufficient outpost. Hestia will be safe haven for the few who can reach it in time.
Marc Seavers--Hero of an Antartic disaster, now assigned as Mission Commander for the great escape from Earth.
President George Starling--Leader of the most powerful country on Earth--but even his armed forces will turn against him when personal survival is at stake.
Vasily Tereshnikov--Commander of the escape ship Pegasus, yet secretly under the orders of Russia's premier.
Thousands of men and women will sacrifice their lives to save a fraction of the human race... but who will survive?
