A year late but I finished my second book:

Drawing inspiration from the Book of Revelations and post apocalyptic mythology, Metallic Sky is the First of the Five Part Series, Days of Disaster. The world is in turmoil, as it is forced by the machinations of rogue nations China and Russia to deal with the phenomenon known as the Kessler Syndrome. World War 3 erupts as China, Russia and a number of satellite nations seek to turn a world disaster into conquest of long held ambitions in Europe and Asia.

“A few years have passed and where there were once only two thousand satellites revolving around the planet, now there are over 10,000 such orbitals. Private businesses have been quick to take advantage of the benefits these technological wonders offer and have quickly supplanted governments in the race for space among the stars. Amid rising global tensions two nations, China and Russia lead a bevy of others, seeking to take advantage of the discord of the West to realize long anticipated goals by leveling the military and economic playing field dominated by the United States and its allies. This ends up resulting in a global conflict, World War 3.

Using the imminent launch of Taiwan’s first spacecraft, the Chinese fashion a strategy to increase its regional hegemony and enlist the aid of another outsider nipping at the heels of the western nations atop the global food chain. The subsequent debris resulting from the satellite’s destruction cause a kaleidoscope of collisions rendering the satellite network extinct overnight. The chain reaction of events on the ground mirrored that of near space, and though slower to ensue was far more devastating to the way of life of people and the governments that led them threatening the very means of survival for both.”

Would this happen? Could this happen? How would the world react if it did? This sci-fi thriller explores the possibilities of a sudden, violent end to a world gifted with satellites and what happens in a world already on the brink of turmoil on the ground. Could this result in World War 3? What would happen to everyday people at home and abroad?
