An Asteroid Storm is Headed for Earth and the Government kept it SecretRick Munday is a struggling astrophysicist trying to support his family when he is swept into a covert government conspiracy that kept the asteroid storm secret from the world. Colonel Cruikshank controlled all knowledge of the storm while building secret underground cities to protect the "few and the fortunate."
Rick fights to escape the clutches of the evil Colonel Cruikshank while his enforcer, Captain Kobalt, gives chase. Rick works with new friends to warn the world of impending doom and defeat in the Arcadians in unique ways, flooding the underground cities with people to save lives. Asteroids and meteors fall, destroying cities as Rick struggles to overcome challenges on his quest to reach his family and cross the Bridge to Nowhere.
Asteroids–Bridge to Nowhere is a fast-paced near-future dystopian adventure.The Places in the Book are RealThe Bridge to Nowhere is a real bridge in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Los Angeles, which goes nowhere. All the places in the novel are real. You can easily find them on a map. Burwell, Nebraska, is a real town. The location of New Arcadia is an open field in Frederick, Maryland, but what lies beneath? New Zion, a city under Denver Airport. It might be real. It's a common conspiracy theory that the military built a massive base below the airport. The old AT&T bunker in the Mojave Desert is real. You can spot it alongside the I-15 highway on the way from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
The author took great care to use actual locations, hoping the reader would follow along, creating a richer, more engaging experience while reading ASTEROIDS.
ASTEROIDS is Full of Future TechnologyFrom the fountain of youth blood transfusions to the atmosphere in New Arcadia, to Buzz Bee's, the Harpoon, and Vue Lens - ASTEROIDS is full of fun future tech. Some of the tech is purely imagination, but Mike based many of the products on real technologies in development, at the time of writing. The author often describes ASTEROIDS as Science Faction instead of Science Fiction. His hope is that readers will become interested in technology, then research it, and create it themselves.
