After a MAD scenario unfolded a year earlier, this is the continuing story of Orbiter One and the struggles to determine its future.
The Station and its personnel are still untested, Earth is now a mess of brown silt,
the moon is a distant prospect, and newly detected variables further complicate the equation.
The discovery of Silent Night, a multi-layered variable, offers both new hope and hidden dangers, this enigma provides fresh opportunities for those in the light, and provides new answers for all in the dark, as in this place, they will find new friends and seek old ghosts.
They will have to utilise what they have to gain the advantage,
harness what limited resources can be found to discover the truth,
and if there is nothing else, fabricate the tools no longer at their disposal.
Ultimately, the answers they provide will determine if the Station and its crew can move in or have to move on,
will Silent Night help themselves to help Orbiter One, can they help mankind?

Orbiter One is a series of books that deals with the aftermath of an extinction event, and the story of those that try to journey beyond it.
Book One, At Worlds End, is the story that sets up the rest of the books, it is the beginning of the story of Orbiter One, and, as the title suggests,
the end of the world around them.
Book Two, Silent Night, is the continuation of the story, it leads to a new discovery and old ghosts, events move on and changes have to be made,
mankind must survive, the question is where?
There is a glossary of the terms used at the back of each book.
London born in the 60s and moved near to Bristol in the summer of '69, there I can recall seeing the grainy black and white images of the first moon landing as it happened, it was an exciting time of discovery.
I was already an avid reader of Science Fiction by then and brought up with the excellent BBC TV series Doctor Who,
I can vividly remember watching it in black and white in the mid-'60s, (and hiding from the Cybermen behind the sofa!), and then,
reinforcing the Sci-Fi adventure with other TV series in the '70s and '80s with the likes of Blakes Seven, Quatermass, Day of the Triffids and more.
School life was good, college followed and work, family arrived and grew up, and in between I started writing a book, that book ended up being published some 40 years later, Orbiter One, At Worlds End started life in the late 70's.
I have written a few more since then, and published them, there are more to do.
