Solar Storm by Gerald M. Kilby

In space, all that matters is survival.

Rapid colonization of the Moon is pushing both space agencies and corporations to negotiate a New Lunar Accord in an effort to prevent escalating conflicts over valuable territory.

Hope that this treaty will bring stability to the nascent lunar civilization is dashed when a high-energy solar storm causes a cascade of destruction to the vast satellite constellations that orbit Earth. Now it’s only a matter of weeks before the ever-increasing debris cloud makes travel impossible.

Panic begins to grip the lunar population as they scramble to evacuate, all fearing that they could be stranded on the Moon. But for some, those caught in the grinding gears of the unfolding chaos, the situation becomes much worse. For them, it’s simply a matter of survival.

This is their story.
