Synopsis "The Oort Plague: The Oort Chronicles: Book 2: A Pandemic Apocalypse"
On 6 March 2116, a comet was discovered hurtling toward the Earth. With only a two-year window, the USUG-C (U.S., U.K., and German Confederation) sent a three-ship flotilla of Asteroid Belt Mining Ships to begin pushing this comet named Holley Thorne out of its potentially disastrous trajectory. Using mining lasers, the mission was completed. Holley Thorne, however, had a stinger in her tail, and the Earth had to pass through that tail. Following Holley Thorne's passing, the Earth was subjected to an immensely deadly pandemic. Book two, THE OORT PLAGUE begins two years later, on 7 March 2118. The entire world is now an absolute shambles, many cultures have simply disappeared from the Human Lineage. There are so many deaths and so few survivors that it is impossible to pick up the bodies. Animals must clean up the dead. Disease will now have its turn...One should never say, "At least, things can't get worse," because things can always get worse. Humanity is about to discover that things are about to get much, much worse.
