The Twilight Of Briareus: Richard Cowper

Radiation from the stellar explosion less than 150 light years away smashed Earth into a new ice age. Tornadoes devastated the world, leaving destruction, death and desolation in their wake. Worst of all, the human race found itself sterile. The Zetas, strange people with suddenly-acquired psychic powers were made the scapegoats, but even during the hounding and extermination that followed, few could grasp what had really happened - an alien intelligence, riding on the shock waves of that supernova, had broken through the atmosphere to take up residence in the human brain. Who would inherit the Earth? Cover art by Chris Achilleos.
