Overview
It’s the 2060s. And the destinations to head for are new build Near Earth Territories – vast tubes featuring parks, woods, streams and fields beautifully landscaped with varied gravities. Life there is enjoyed by fit and lively young residents, benefiting from the change in having had extra-terrestrial prenatal mutations. They are in fact, a new breed of space humans. With unlimited space for growth, the Territories are now accepted by scientists as planet ‘B’ – in place of actual planetary bodies such as Mars – a recourse necessitated by the Earth, faced with climate change driven mass extinction, having had to enforce population caps universally. Natural Disasters Hard Science Unforeseen, are mounting natural disasters on Earth that. are driving migrant numbers to hundreds of millions. Chaos erupts and warring factions even attack to destroy the Territories. Researchers managing Territories biomes, turn their attentions to the underlying causes and, re-examining past Mass Extinctions, come up with startling revelations. Most relevant of which, topically, is the threat of mass extinction from earthquake fractured oil reservoirs.

Author Information
Born to English parents in Eritrea, George S Boughton is a Chartered Engineer - BSc (Hons) Mech E (UK) - who's led an expatriate life in oilfield engineering (with Shell and Creole Production Services International, Texas), change management (with the Nichols Group, UK) and Information Management services (with Azeus Systems Ltd, Hong Kong). Now based in the UK, his deep knowledge of oil exploration and production coupled with dire experiences working in remote areas and conflict zones (notably Biafra) have served him well in researching all aspects of the complex, highly scientific and intensely political DeepStorm OutTack adventure.
