Dark Star Rising (Pebbles In The Sky) (Volume 1)

The year is 2016. On the west coast, Peter Rockwell is doing research to finish his Doctorate in astronomy. While reviewing some old telescope data he makes a discovery that will affect the future of the planet. At the same time, Brett and Jessica Driskall, a husband and wife team of researchers in the field of molecular genetics, make an astounding breakthrough that could lead to the eradication of all the infectious diseases that affect the human race. Standing on the sidelines of both discoveries is a reclusive Billionaire named Benjamin Greco. He believes in using his vast financial resources to pursue his own agenda of what he believes human civilization should be. As disaster looms, politicians and governments pursue their own agendas. Wars rage across the planet as countries attempt to ensure their own ideological survival and a few others race to prevent the extinction of the human race. Dark Star Rising is a story of discovery, despair, hope, and human triumph as global disaster approaches.
