Bova writes a good end of the world book and this one has you wondering what will happen next.

When the sun flared, the night-shielded New World almost escaped destruction. But as their sky began burning, who could blame the Russians for thinking that the Americans had attacked....?

The moon colony needs fissionables only available on earth. The trips become more dangerous as the shuttles are ambushed as they land. Who will make the next trip for them and save the colony?

This book is sort of an end-of-the-world and what do we do now? It's also an understated war between those who are out to grab power for themselves and those who'd like to make things better for everybody.
Choose up sides, guys, because nobody can remain neutral!
