WHEN THE SKY BURNED by Ben Bova

WHEN THE SKY BURNED

by Ben Bova

Pub Date: Aug. 11th, 1973
Publisher: Walker

A solar flare has sent earth back to the Stone Age and an underground moon colony which weathered the holocaust with its technology intact sends periodic raiding parties to earth to pilfer the fissionables that keep its machines running. Political and familial entanglements of labyrinthine complexity ultimately unravel into a detente between the two warring worlds. Slick but routine.
