In Vorbereitung auf die Mission lässt sich Dr. Sophie Winston mit ihrem Team in einem Biosphären-Habitat in den Rocky Mountains einschließen. Doch schon wenige Tage später sind die Wissenschaftler gezwungen, den Einschluss abzubrechen. Als sich die Türen des Habitats öffnen, stehen Dr. Winston und ihre Leute vor dem Nichts: die Menschen sind spurlos verschwunden, ebenso die Wasserreserven des gesamten Planeten.

    The thrilling sequel to Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s bestselling Orbs—when one of their own is captured, Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of survivors must exit the safety of their biosphere and fight off the growing horde of aliens. The Organics are still draining the oceans, raising temperatures worldwide, and the few remaining humans have been herded into farms, where the water in their bodies is harvested to support the growing alien army. Humanity’s last chance lies with the biospheres that the mysterious New Tech Corporation has planted across the globe. With resources dwindling, and a new, more terrifying form of alien hunting humans down, not all the biospheres will make it. But there is still hope. In Sophie’s biosphere, her team has managed to create a magnetic weapon that just might give the human resistance a fighting chance—if they can live long enough to use it. Meanwhile, the lone survivor of another failed biosphere treks across the California desert to the ocean and is rescued by an NTC submarine that has been tracking the movements of Sophie’s team and the development of their magnetic weapon. An exciting update of the classic alien invasion story, Orbs II weaves together horror, suspense, and science fiction in a thoroughly fresh, modern, unputdownable book.
