Thundercorp No. 5

Three decades post the cataclysmic alien invasion in 2044 that laid waste to Earth's outdated infrastructure, human civilization's struggle to rise from the ashes drags onward with no end in sight. A sliver of hope for a return to a new normal comes in the form of massive spherical warehouses constructed in low Earth orbits by an aeronautics wunderkind named Julis Hart. His company, Thundercorp, revitalizes stagnant economic commerce via merchandise-laden drones screaming down from the sky and delivering items within an hour anywhere in the world. However, a vociferous minority stake in the new world order balks at the orbiting eyesores and destroys five warehouses in an eco-terrorist blitz.
Working as a drone tech aboard the last remaining Thundercorp, No. 5, Hannah, the only child of Rachel and Owen Haig, (see the full-length novel titled The Golden Ellipse) becomes Julius Hart's final hope. She is thrust into a pitched battle for survival and a race against time to abandon the besieged warehouse with Hart's top-secret technology before the advancing eco-terrorists succeed in detonating it out of low Earth orbit over North Africa.
