About this ebook
2043: Humanity is expanding into the Solar System, ‘Emergence’ as it’s been called, led by the two most significant and rival geopolitical blocks, United Americas and Greater China. Both blocks already have at least one fledgling colony on Mars and established three mining operations on the moon.
Candidates for a new political office, the World Advocate, elected by social media users, feel the investment would be better spent here on Earth alleviating the plight of the poor, and opposition to Emergence grows.

One World Advocate candidate says the solar storms are the wrath of God, and the way to stop them is to withdraw entirely from space!
Then, of course, there are the aliens…
