Описание книги

In a frigid post-apocalyptic world, the harshest of all winters descends on the Tower clan as they prepare for war. Timo and Alyd, a husband and wife sniper team for the clan's security force, are brought together with Maldor, the mysterious elder and science director, when an enemy scout is killed. Maldor is the last in a long line of elders waiting for a chance to correct a mistake in the past. The surprise union and a supernova event that took place three-hundred-and-sixty years ago, are the only hope for mankind’s future existence. Will their efforts be enough to save what's left of mankind? Read “The Gravitational Leap” and find out. This debut science fiction novel by Darrell Lee explores the relationships between religion, science, faith, love, loss, betrayal, greed and loyalty as the clans clash for control of the ultimate power source of their world.

Timo hand-signaled Alyd to hold her position. He moved from behind the outcrop, rifle at the ready. The corpse was lying facedown. Timo felt his heart rate quicken again as he stopped beside it.

The scout wore typical Denock garb: sand-colored uniform pants, hooded parka, and gloves. The snow around him was soaked with dark, sticky blood. Timo patted down his back and then around his waist and found nothing. To the right, the camouflage canvas he was using for cover flapped in the wind, held in place from blowing away by a backpack. He moved to the backpack and felt the contents through the outside. Nothing seemed suspicious. After he untied the flap, inside he found a set of civilian clothes with a head wrap and gloves, a revolver, a large knife in a sheath, food rations, a canteen filled with water, and a walkie-talkie.
