David Hewson: Solstice (USA 1999) From the Publisher: From Japan to Spain to California, the most brilliant minds in science are scrambling to interpret the phenomenon. One scientist, a man whose life is in shambles, is about to be told the truth: Something human is causing the violent power of the sun to focus on specific targets - with enough concentrated energy to destroy entire cities. Michael Lieberman has been contacted by the CIA's chief scientist, a woman frozen out of Washington's inner circle. Together they investigate how Air Force One has been knocked out of the sky... why computer systems are unraveling... how Las Vegas has been targeted by an electromagnetic explosion. Racing against the clock, Lieberman and Helen Wagner are hunting not for scientific answers but for one woman: the mastermind of a staggering techno-hijacking that has turned a raging sun into the ultimate weapon - and who is about to use it to the most terrifying effect of all. David Hewson: Solstice. A Thriller. Warner Books, ISBN: 0446524492 (July, 1999), 470 p., $23.95 (?).

David Hewson: Solstice (UK 1998) From the Publisher: As the markets crash and aircraft fall from the sky, something catastrophic is happening here that not even Lieberman's brilliance can predict, and it soon becomes clear that he is not even being told everything the authorities already know - about a secret US solar experiment that is running out of control, or about the activities of a millennial cult run by his former lover. The only certainty is that the solar pattern will peak at the summer solstice, in just four days' time... Like his first two highly acclaimed novels, Semana Santa and Epiphany, Solstice is eerily atmospheric, superbly written and utterly compelling. David Hewson: Solstice. HarperCollins, ISBN: 0002256215 (April, 1998), 500 p., £16.99.
