A rookie astronomer, Irina Kirilenko, discovers a planet-size comet in the Kuiper Belt that is on a collision course with Mars — a rendezvous that could alter the orbit of one or both bodies, creating chaos in the solar system and threatening Earth. But NASA rejects her find and claims it is merely the shock wave of the jet of a recently formed black hole extending through space. Soon she finds herself bucking a massive government cover-up and under suspicion as a security threat. In desperation, she sends the evidence to a fellow astronomer. As a result of this security breach, Irina winds up in a FEMA camp and two other astronomers must go on the run. (The first of a four-volume series.) $0.99 on Kindle.
