When a compact fusion core is refashioned into an orbital “Black Sun,” midnight becomes noon—and nations learn to bargain with fire. Wen Zhao, the engineer who built the prototype, watches from a cramped flat as his life is scorched into a global lie. Maeve Kline, an exiled investigative reporter, follows the ruined ports and vanished satellites to the same ash-strewn truth. Together they chase a deniable chain of commerce, cyber-masks, and hidden generals—while cities smolder, alliances crumble, and a new order rises on fear.
A propulsive geopolitical techno-thriller of guilt, spectacle, and survival. For readers of Tom Clancy, Cixin Liu, and Olen Steinhauer.
How far will the world bend to keep the light?
Jobic Chakalisa is the bestselling author of The Siberian Nightmare, Target: Tehran, and North Korea's Secret Weapon.
He currently lives in Chicago. He has always been a movie lover, and this certainly shines through in the way he writes his novels. You won't get lost in over-description, time will never be wasted on characters that have nothing to do with the story, and every single chapter has meaning.
Jobic has only ever had one goal with his work, and that is to entertain. And he hopes your escape into his pages have at the very least done that.
