As "the great storm" raged over the towns of Bootley and Sketchly (and beyond) causing widespread power cuts, meanwhile, at the same time, in the nearby village town of Lentley, amateur star-gazer Scavlon Connelly is recording on his home telescope what he feels is "a momentous event" in the skies up above. The earth is being viciously lashed with the ever-increasing thunder and electric lightning storms . . . far from the norm. Later that night, he is joined by close friend Tilley and his friend Sarna. From that night on, the trio develops a strong, life-lasting bond, taking them out of obscurity and propelling them into a previously unimaginable fast-developing world of solar energy and science. The story runs over a period, where man has for now secured world peace with all his earth-bound enemies and is now governed by the world government . . . the United Nations of All States.
