2041 Sanctuary (2: Let There Be Light)In the darkness, you can’t always trust the light.A year has passed since the asteroid AG5 impacted off the South African coastline and civilisation teeters on the brink of collapse beneath the all-encompassing dust cloud which encircles the planet. As those on the surface struggle to survive a devastating impact winter, the world’s finest assemble on the International Space Station for a covert mission that could change the course of all life on Earth.

As calls for the death penalty gain momentum, those that sit in judgement are unaware that Steiner holds the key not just to their survival, but to the survival of the entire human race. If Professor Steiner is to survive, his only chance lies with an FBI agent who would see him dead ten times over and his nemesis, the world’s most wanted criminal, the elusive cyber terrorist, Da Muss Ich, both of whom hide secrets of their own.
