Star Island, by New Zealand author Barrie Cameron, is the first book in his science fiction Planetoid Trilogy.
The Planetoid Trilogy is a hybrid of hard and soft science fiction, with adventure, mystery, alien contact, and existential threats,
Barrie Cameron has set his Planetoid Trilogy in the near future. The Earth is still threatened by global warming and other associated problems caused by recent human activity.
In Cameron’s first book, we learn that, to add to the world’s woes, a large asteroid from interstellar space threatens to collide with Earth. Mankind must deflect this Planetoid from its deadly course or risk massive damage to the biosphere and the destruction of human civilization.
A young astrophysicist finds herself thrust into a critical role that she did not seek. She is an unlikely hero, chosen to lead the struggle to defend Earth against this imminent danger from outside our solar system.
The three books in the Planetoid Trilogy are:
- Star Island – in which we are introduced to the main characters and the immediate challenges that they face. Star Island is available now in paperback and E-book from Amazon,
- Three Fates – in which the adventurers travel out to meet the Planetoid beyond the orbit of Pluto. Three Fates is in final editing and scheduled to be released in paperback and E-book by the end of July 2022,
- Phoenix -in which the heroes meet unexpected obstacles to their mission and to their survival. Phoenix is in final editing and expected to be available three months after the release of Three Fates.
