Critical Orbit by Reg Puckey

Astrophysicist Mark Lucas's calculations confirm his worst fears. Climate change is not a natural occurring event, as scientists believe. A more catastrophic event lead to the demise of the dinosaurs, the instantaneous death of woolly mammoths in Northern Siberia, and why Antarctica once supported plant life. The scientists are wrong! The cause was a change in the Earth's tilt on its axis, caused by a huge asteroid named KA142 that last passed close-by Earth 10425 years ago. Mark predicts a similar devastating event will occur again in 2017. The new North Pole will be situated in the fields of Kansas. The United States will become a frozen wasteland! He can't risk anyone knowing, other than the President. The President demands absolute secrecy. He decrees the World will not be forewarned. Survival of his country is paramount. The lives of those that come close to knowing the truth are expendable. Mark realizes he has passed the fate of so many into the hands of a devious President and his ruthless henchman. Mark awaits. Will the World face a new 'dark age' - or are his calculations wrong? Author Reg Puckey presents a thrilling thought-provoking journey into a new concept of global catastrophe. A dramatic tale of the clandestine activities of a government desperate for survival, and KA142's aftermath. Critical Orbit is a novel of constant action and intrigue.
