The sun, the bringer of life, has risen and set over our planet since the dawn of time. As the 21st century progresses, mankind continues to struggle against the problems of localised wars, superpower rivalries, nuclear threats and global warming. With the successful launch of the first manned mission to Mars in 2021 only one man has any real fear of the problems which might lie ahead. In this fast-paced, science fiction thriller, The End of Everything, M.E. Ellington explores the idea that technology and nature can conflict with devastating consequences, causing the bringer of life to become the harbinger of death and the ultimate threat to the survival of mankind.
As the first manned spaceship to Mars successfully departs from earth in Sept 2026 only a small group of people know the real reason for the mission. With the new rocket propulsion system not fully tested, Steve David, a project specialist, confides his fears to Jacob, one of his colleagues. The chain of events which begin to unfold two years later changes the lives of all of those involved and sees a small group of people racing to uncover the truth and to bring to a halt to a seemingly unstoppable catastrophe. Knowledge can be a dangerous thing as space engineers Jacob, Andy and Kevin together with scientific reporter Alice quickly discover as they race to stop the destruction of the earth and indeed of mankind. Can they succeed as the sun, for centuries the bringer of life, becomes the harbinger of death?
