Helios

The Earth was dying. The sudden solar flares were compromising living conditions. Scientists had predicted that within a few decades life on the planet would no longer be possible. The Government had arranged for the evacuation of Earth to transfer all humans to newly colonized worlds where they could find refuge. The Great Exodus lasted for two years with large ships boarding all those who had gathered at collection centers. But not everyone left the planet.
A large group of humans, who for various reasons had not been able to leave, organized themselves near the bay of Vancouver where an underground city was built, sheltered from solar radiation. Their hope was to find some ships abandoned by the Government to leave the planet before the catastrophe. Three inexplicable murders shook the community already troubled by the climate events, and Mortimer, a former Security agent, took on the investigation to uncover the culprit. After the trilogy of The Phoenix Saga, Oriano Galvanini dedicates this mystery thriller to fans of both genres, staying true to his favorite vein of adventure in science fiction.
