HEAT - Beyond Mindslip — Tony Harmsworth

HEAT Beyond Mindslip makes climate change seem no more than a warm summer's day.In 2019, Betelgeuse turned supernova. The radiation, coupled with coronal mass ejections, caused every creature on Earth to change in a drastic manner. MINDSLIP, Evolution's Nemesis deals with the story from the explosion and through the dramatic discoveries made by the scientists who were part of the Mindslip Catastrophe Committee. HEAT Beyond Mindslip takes up the tale. They can be read as stand-alone novels.Solar flares and radiation have shut down the ISS and moonbase. How will NASA and Roscosmos counter the existential threat of extreme rising temperatures? When Betelgeuse exploded thirteen years previously, no one anticipated the long-term effect upon Earth's climate. Some considered evacuation to be the only solution, but evacuate to where?Beth Arnold was a key player in the MINDSLIP crisis, now, older and wiser, she is trying to overcome astronomical odds to save herself and her family. Small nations are scrambling to secure a future for their populations, while the superpowers collude to protect their interests. How far will they go?Time is running out and only four solutions still exist. How can Earth's resources be channelled into saving the world. Is it even possible?Some readers of the beta-version are saying HEAT might be the best end-of-world story since 'On The Beach', but will HEAT end so badly?
