Lines of Force: The End of the World as We Know It

From the warped mind of award-winning sci-fi author Steve Bellinger:

• Weird things happening in the Earth’s core
• Environmental pollution from an unexpected source
• A rogue comet with strange properties

Our only hope:

• A beautiful young TV weather reporter
• An “old school” TV cameraman
• An eccentric climatologist
• neo-shaman and his “magic mushroom soup”

That’s it. We’re screwed!

Lines of Force: The End of the World as We Know It will delight readers of apocalyptic fiction who look for scenarios of global catastrophe and survival.

When a scientist stumbles upon a forty-mile-long cosmic ice mass, the Skyler-Bernard (“Sky Burner” becomes its popular name), it’s at first believed that its close passage to Earth will afford little more than spectacular views. The fact that this mass holds an iron core and a strong magnetic field gives light cause for concern; but as it draws closer, its potential for wrecking planet-wide havoc becomes apparent.

Steve Bellinger juxtaposes this scientific phenomenon with the lives of various characters who never expected to become disaster survivors. These ordinary people are just living their lives until their relationships, ambitions, and hopes collide with planetary changes that demand they set aside everything they have ever known or believed in.

The tension, sense of purpose and revelations, and choices that revolve around utilizing magnetism in new ways creates a fine contrast between personal perspective and applied science. These are perfect formulas, when combined with character-testing and development approaches, for a vivid read that will simply delight those who look for the perfect blend of science and psychology in their disaster fiction.
