Dark as Day (Cold As Ice Book 2)

Dark As Day is set in the same universe as Sheffield's previous novel Cold As Ice, thirty years after the Great War—an interplanetary conflict that nearly destroyed humanity and left behind dangerous weapons caches threatening human survival. The Solar System is recovering from the devastation. On one of Jupiter's moons, Alex Ligon, heir to an interplanetary trading family, has created an accurate population model. When the Seine—the interconnected computer network spanning the planets, moons, and asteroids—comes back online, he uses it to project a century into the future. The model predicts complete human extinction. Meanwhile, on another moon, Millie Wu, a young genius working on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project, detects an incoming signal from outside the solar system. On a minor moon of Saturn, the eccentric scientist Rustam Battacharyia continues collecting weapons from the Great War. He believes he has discovered an unexpected new weapon and must disarm it before it destroys the Sun. This title is sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
