In New Earth, diplomat Jordan Kell led an expedition beyond the solar system to Sirius 3, only to discover that the planet was already inhabited by an alien race virtually indistinguishable from humans. In this stand-alone sequel, Jordan returns to Earth to share what he's learned from his new acquaintances: that a "death wave" of gamma radiation approaches, poised to destroy everything in its path. Preventing him from doing so is the powerful World Council, whose members who are more than willing to ignore Jordan's warning in order to further their own political agendas. Sharing a setting with author Ben Bova's Grand Tour of the Solar System novels, Death Wave marks the beginning of the Star Quest series. Science fiction newsletter, January 2016.
