520 | _aAn American scientist discovers an asteroid made of magnetite will pass close enough to Earth to shift not just the magnetic north pole but the physical north pole as well - right into the heart of the USA. Mark Lucas chooses to brief the President about America's ice-age fate before telling his scientific colleagues - a decision that threatens to cost him his life, his conscience and his integrity, as a national security cone of silence descends on his discovery. At what point does political power become megalomania? If the end of the world was coming, who would you tell? In this stunning apocalyptic novel, Reg Puckey explores the utmost limits of a fundamental moral dilemma: the public's right to know versus the government's desire to maintain order for the greater good.
