Book Description
In September of 1859, the entire Earth was engulfed in a gigantic cloud of seething gas, and a blood-red aurora erupted across the planet from the poles to the tropics. Around the world, telegraph systems crashed, machines burst into flames, and electric shocks rendered operators unconscious. Compasses and other sensitive instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist. For the first time, people began to suspect that the Earth was not isolated from the rest of the universe. However, nobody knew what could have released such strange forces upon the Earth--nobody, that is, except the amateur English astronomer Richard Carrington.
In this riveting account, Stuart Clark tells for the first time the full story behind Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and how his brilliant insight--that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth--helped to usher in the modern era of astronomy. Clark vividly brings to life the scientists who roundly rejected the significance of Carrington's discovery of solar flares, as well as those who took up his struggle to prove the notion that the Earth could be touched by influences from space. Clark also reveals new details about the sordid scandal that destroyed Carrington's reputation and led him from the highest echelons of science to the very lowest reaches of love, villainy, and revenge.
The Sun Kings transports us back to Victorian England, into the very heart of the great nineteenth-century scientific controversy about the Sun's hidden influence over our planet.

A Superb History of Observational Solar Astrophysics.......2007-08-03
Although this excellent book's subtitle mentions "modern astronomy", the book is really about the sun and how certain key individuals, the "sun kings", have made important discoveries towards our better understanding of some aspects of our nearest star and how the earth can be directly affected. In particular, the role that sunspots and solar flares play in producing auroras and magnetic storms on earth is historically explored. The author weaves his remarkable tale from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty first century. Everything is brought together in the last couple of chapters in which our current understanding of solar astrophysics is presented. Also discussed is modern research on the observed relationship between the number of sunspots and the earth's climate - another possible contributing factor to climate change. The writing style is clear, very engaging and quite friendly; this book is very difficult to put down, in part because the author skillfully includes details of individuals' personal lives intermingled with the science that they were pursuing. The book can be enjoyed by everyone since the author was very careful in avoiding scientific jargon and in meticulously explaining scientific matters. I definitely look forward to reading more of this author's books.
A Great Historical Education.......2007-08-01
This book is real history. It is well written, covers the important points of the history being written about, and is very informative. Clark has written a history of the discovery of the nature of the sun, and of how its magnetic field effects the earth. Clark does a very thorough job describing the lead researchers and how they operated. The basic science is discussed very clearly. I learned a lot.
This book is highly recommended for anyone even remotely interested in history.
Brilliant Book.......2007-05-17
I read this book after hearing Seth Shostak's great interview with Stuart Clark on the SETI podcast. It is a fabulous tale of astronomy in Victorian times, complete with tragic motifs and quirky insights into what amateur astronomers and gentleman scientists thought about the Sun in those times. Great book.
Best Solar Book ever.......2007-05-12
I have been an amatuer Solar observer for twenty years and own an extensive library of volumes dedicated to Solar Physics and the history of Solar observation."The Sun Kings:The Unexpected Tragedy of Richard Carrington and the Tale of How modern Astronomy began" by Stuart Clark is one of the best that I have ever read.I was amazed that on allmost every page was a jewel of history that that I was previously unaware of.Mr Clark's writing was easy to follow and a joy to read.I highly recomend this book to anyone interested in the history of Solar observation.

A great plot told by a weak author.......2006-07-28
As a Christian and a fan of science fiction, I had great hopes for Solar Flare as I opened the book and began to read. Christian art in all its forms is used to glorify God and/or as a vehicle to present ideas about the faith. Solar Flare is Mr. Burkett's means to discuss ideas about society from a Christian perspective. If you do not want to hear those ideas, do not buy this book.
The book is an easy read and is suitable for young readers however, the pacing is slow to begin with and that my challenge new readers.
The effect of massive solar flares on society and technology is a great topic for science fiction but, unfortunately, Mr. Burkett is not a great science fiction writer. While I have learned much and enjoyed reading several of Larry Burkett's books on finance there is a huge difference between writing non-fiction and fiction. When writing fiction you want to show the story through thoughts, setting, action and description. Non-fiction writers usually just tell the story. Mr. Burkett largely tells us the story, just as he had done in many of his earlier non-fiction books.
One earlier review said Mr. Burkett, "SCREAMED points that should have been whispered." I agree. There is better Christian Science fiction available that presents ideas of the faith in a less preachy manner.
Sadly, I cannot recommend Solar Flare. I hope that someday a Christian author will take this topic and create a better science fiction story.

The Second Half Sure Beats the First Half!.......2005-02-20
Like all the serious readers, I struggled to get through the first half of the book. Great idea, but awfully communicated. Worst writing I have seen in years.
But get to page 250-300, and it actually gets good. The plot develops, the story is decent. It even makes sense!!! Kinda like The Little Prince, the cover (or first half of the book) is meant to discourage the timid reader.
Thinly veiled political trash.......2004-12-04
Burkett's novel Solar Flare is nothing but strident conservativism thinly disguised as speculative fiction. Not worth buying. Or, if you like this sort of thing, just pick up a copy of The Turner Diaries.
Great book, shows how people must make important descisions.......2003-05-08
I love this book! yes it is easy to read, but it shows how some people must make descisions fast to survive. It shows how a solar flare hits earth and everything electrical dies. How people all over the USA have to move to camps and we can relate this to our time now and how we must be thankful for what we have and should not waste it. It is good for a non-beliver just getting to know Jesus Christ and how others deal with it too. And tells some really cool fight scenes and how people in our world can be so vile. Hope this was helpful!Good book!
P.S. What book was "reader from Havelock" reading????.......2002-12-10
I read this book (see my review) and was totally replused by it.
I saw these other reviews after I had already written mine. I don't know what the guy from Havelock was reading, but it wasn't the same book I read.
This book contains gleeful accounts of numerous acts of violence, though mostly after the fact. A female Supreme Court Justice who acts to oppose the President in this story is murdered and and it is brushed off as just too bad. A member of congress who "casts an envious eye upon powers of the office of the presidency" (my words, not the author's, but the point is obvious in the text)loses and eye, literally, and is left little more than a vegetable from brain damage, this is again brushed off with a laugh by that same President.
This is violence in its worst form -- presented as righteous payback and treated as a big joke. This book reads as if it were written by a White Supremisist -- every bit as rabid as Osama Bin Laden in his hate of those unlike himself -- "anointed by God" to straighten out the heathen or kill them which ever proves most needful at the time.
I am, as I said in my full review, a devout christian mom and a writer as well. I am not a whiny liberal. I am absolutely pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-monogamy, pro-premartial abstinence, and over-whelmingly anti-welfare. I am known in my community for speaking out for the rights of christians to practice their religious faith openly in public schools. I prayerfully vote republican.
This book is NOT what I would want my kids, or any one else's either, exposed to.

Protostars and Planets V (University of Arizona Space Science Series)
ASIN: 3540212442 |
Book Description
Solar-type activity over the whole range of the electromagnetic spectrum is a phenomenon inherent in the majority of low- and moderate-mass main sequence stars. In this monograph observational results are summarized in a systematic and comprehensive fashion. The analysis of the various manifestations of such stellar activity leads to the identification of these phenomena with macroscopic non-linear processes in a magnetized plasma. Comparative study of flare stars and the Sun has become increasingly fruitful and is presently an active field of research involving stellar and solar physicists, experts in plasma physics and high-energy astrophysicists. This book will provide them with both an introduction and overview of observational results from the first optical photometry and spectroscopy, from the satellite telescopes International Ultraviolet Explorer to Hubble Space Telescope, XMM-Newton and Chandra, as well as with the present physical interpretation of solar-type activity in main sequence stars. Gershberg's 40-year career studying UV Cet type stars and related objects enables him to provide readers with expert insight into the characteristics of such stars in both the quiescent state and during flares and the reliability of the data over the electromagnetic spectrum and wide temporal scales.
Book Description
This book provides a self-contained introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), with emphasis on nonlinear processes. The book outlines the conventional aspects of MHD theory, magnetostatic equilibrium and linear stability theory. It concentrates on nonlinear theory, starting with the evolution and saturation of individual ideal and resistive instabilities, continuing with a detailed analysis of magnetic reconnection and concluding with a study of the most complex nonlinear behavior, that of MHD turbulence. The last chapters describe three important applications of the theory: disruptive processes in tokomaks, MHD effects in the reversed field pinch, and solar flares.

Strong Ideas Poorly Implemented.......2007-09-12
This is a hard sci fi book. The concepts presented from the thruster ring attached to the earth to the new world social structure and the strange brain transplanting are all good and fun sci fi ideas. Unfortuantely, Metzger fails to uses them not as tools to tell a story. Instead they seem to be the point of the story.
Orson Scott Card wrote in an essay that what makes science fiction one of the great literary frontiers is that you can bend all the rules, make fantastic worlds, and then throw humans into it and see what evolves. Metzger got the first part of it. He built an different kind of world. Unfortunately he didn't use it for anything. Other than telling a very bizzare stor; a story which lacks ANY human connection and any underlying theme. Despite how much the world changes in this novel, the characters don't seem to at all.
The second half of the book seems to try to up the ante by adding even more obscurity. The talking dinosaur was the point where this book broke and pretty much gave up hope. From then on, with no expectations for the book, I was no longer let down, but no recovery was made either.
Rarely do I feel at the end of a book as though my time could have been better spent doing anything else. Reading this book, unfortunately, is one of those experiences. I finished this book as a child finishes his brocoli: only so that I could move on to better things. This book is not awful, but it is not good.
Crushed under the weight of ideas .......2007-06-30
I have to agree with others. The ideas were grand and original, the writing was excellent, the characters were beautifully realized, the plot was interesting and arresting and I loved the Alabama setting...but too many cooks spoil the broth. In this case, the plethora of ideas the author attempts to pack into one story becomes a burden for the reader. The future history one must learn and the sheer number of terms encoutered is offputting - Void, ghosts, Swirl, CUSP, Jeni, Dolls, Pure, ...you almost need a notebook handy for quick reference. And this is a shame because the ideas are startling, original and what I liked best, characters are authentic with real dialogue and growth.
Warning ***** Plot giveaway. There is enough material for at least a Tetralogy: (1) The initial flares and devastation, wars and emergence of the General, (2) the aftermath, creation of CUSP, Simon, Bill, Jenis, (3) the Singularity (Sarah) and the start of the long journey and (4) the arrival and subsequent events. As it stands, throwing everything together was like dumping the contents of the bottom bin in a big pot. Not only is there the possiblity of human extincition but also First Contact, the Singularity, Time Travel, space adventures and lots of X-men like action. After a while you have to ask, how many new directions, misdirections, misconceptions (at least four different ideas concerning the Swirl) can one book take and remain intact? Just when you think you understand, along comes intelligent dinosaurs, then a second group of "aliens", then magical manipulation of the fabric of the universe, then time travel...It's too much.
The saddest thing about the entire work is that the characters are so appealing - from the odd entrance of the police woman to Simon and his demons, Xavier, Christina, the ambassador, even the determined, grim general. Sarah remains as she should - an unknowable mystery. There is no "main" character but instead a series of major players. Maybe next time Metzger will concentrate deeper on fewer ideas. I mean, if you can get three or four books from an idea then go for it - scifi fans love series. For all the vaunted incredible technology promised, people are not happier or even better off. In fact, quality of life has degenerated with the disappearance of privacy, mental control and drabness. Though surrounded by eye-popping technology, Americans are forced to work like slaves on plantations - does that make sense? My grade - C+
Hard SciFi, Hard Ideas, Hard to Understand, Hard to Read.......2007-03-17
The problem that Metzger has in this book is that he has too many ideas to share at one time and unless you have a handle on AI and quantum physics and mechanics they are thrown out too quickly to catch the concepts. Then you never have time to assimilate them into the story (which is over 500 pages).
In quick succession he passes by the effect of the two Rings that have circled the earth and divided it into four quadrants. Each has it's own societal function, the one in the old US west of the ring going up the east coast is to function as a bread basket for the rest (I think). There was so much more here he could have done, and though I hate to suggest it, maybe he should have made this two or three books.
All of what happens goes back to a 'race' from Alpha Centuri A (called the Alphans) who were looking for the beginnings of sentient races in other solar systems and then 'moving' them to an 'incubator' around Alpha Centuri B. You got that yet! It all began 1 Billion years ago, but there was a catastropy with the Alphans, 100 million years ago and they all disappeared! Uh! Metzger lost me at "It all..."
OK, so I fought my way through the book and in the end felt disappointed that I wasn't rewarded with anything interesting or entertaining. Make your own choice.
Good book for people who like to read software manuals.
Couldn't bother finishing.......2006-12-30
This is not the worst book I've ever read, but it's the worst I've read this year: I read four or five a week and write this on 30 December. The writing is fairly bad. Enamored of misplaced sentence modifiers, the prose reads like it was written by someone who reads a lot but doesn't pay much attention to the structure of what was written.
I agree with an earlier reviewer that one needs to be willing to forgive a lot when reading science fiction. Happily, Metzger here does not share the necessary-to-forgive ultraconservative political views of many of the people he imitates (e.g., Niven), but, alas, that positive point does not compensate for the lack of thinking evident here.
This is science fiction insomuch as it covers many of the ideas common in science fiction (extraterrestrial travel, artificial intelligence, and the like), but it is science fiction per se just as "Aida" is a work of Egyptian history.
This would probably make a good comic book along the lines of the 1960s/1970s Marvel stuff: there are a lot of descriptions of scenes that would be fun to draw, and explanation never played a big part in those works. You'll find no explanations of the technology/phenomena here and only the most cursory motive attributions applied to the characters. (One would say almost obligatory attributions, insofar as such explanations have become inextricably intertwined with descriptions of said stock characters. Among other examples, the required representative of the military-industrial complex, Sutherland, is outstanding.)
Metzger's devices for filling in background are extraordinarily tiresome. Characters (e.g., the police officers) spend pages just after having been introduced discussing their own backgrounds for no reason relevant to the plot or (in another scene) one character actually reads aloud a dossier compiled on another character to that character.
What parts of this book I could get through I read while waiting for a fast food hamburger to be made and served, while waiting for a bus, and so forth. It was better than doing nothing at such times, but once I got home I tossed the book on the "get rid of" pile. It'll be on the free shelf at my local library soon, with my bookmark still two-thirds of the way through.
One final point: I guess this book is safe from spoiler reviews: it's hard to imagine anyone being interested enough to care about not being able to read to the end.
Bad science, flat characters.......2006-10-16
This was pretty lame. Sure, there're BIG things going on, with worlds and stars being shoved about as a matter of course, and of course a big story involving aliens and AI's and blends in between and (of course) saving the Earth (sort-of), with lot's of big concepts tossed about. Fundamentally though, while it pretends to be hard science scifi, the science is so unrealistic as to have stretched my temporary suspension of disbelief beyond the breaking point. This is a fantasy dressed-up as scifi, and not even very well-done fantasy. You simply can't strap a reaction engine on largely fluid bodies like the Earth or sun and accelerate them at 1/10 - 1 G without causing rather a lot of world-destroying metamorphic destruction (in the case of the Earth) or worse, completely aside from the tsunami problem. Then there're the characters, which were all pretty flat and lived and acted in a world which seemed devoid of people beyond those cast in the story, in spite of their world-changing activities (Phobos is landed in Alabama, and no government entity bothers to investigate?). Then the supposedly advanced physics - this is mostly just buzzwords being thrown about, with lot's of vividly described visuals (this would look good as a bad scifi movie). Add to this a fragmented story, and about the most positive thing this book has is competent grammar and spelling.

This book left me scratching my head .. . . .......2007-01-27
. . . and wondering how Reviewer mcHAIKU survived all the trauma of Wars & Pestilence and lived to be 80 without becoming paranoid. (?) My blithe attitude may have to make an about face with one granddaughter studying in the San Andreas Fault area, another beginning studies in the vicinity of the New Madrid Fault, plus a family living in Indiana's Tormado Alley.
This book may be referred to with unhappy frequency. For 'head-scratching' there is plenty to be learned on pages 208-214, some of it rather revolting. The authors are practiced information-gatherers & they also offer lots of remedies. That's to balance the scary parts. It helps to have a good index & plenty of references in the EndNotes, to which you can add by stuffing your copy with newspaper & magazine clippings.
This reader is careful now to heat water for ONLY two minutes in the microwave, and my eye will scan more carefully the labels of toilet cleaners. The fire-builder in the family will be quizzed about chances that our wood-burning stove is a potential threat for carbon monoxide poisoning. I do applaud the authors for their challenge to adults on page 252, to "TURN OFF THE TV & GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!"
The book is formatted to encourage you to THOROUGHLY read all sections. In a race for time to get this re-mailed to the studious one in Santa Cruz, I admit to some skimming. I'll doubtless give up and order another copy. Who of us doesn't have a hang-up or two, anyway?
Blending humor with authentic hazards.......2002-12-05
Blending humor with authentic hazards, this tells how to cope with feelings of terror over everything from dust mites and meteorites to solar flares and poisoning. These are everyday hazards for the most part: the authors assess the severity of these threats and offer suggestions for overcoming them.

Book Description
The global structure of the heliosphere changes dramatically with the solar circle. Our knowledge of the heliosphere in three dimensions under solar-minimum conditions has advanced significantly in the last 10 years, largely as a result of the on-going ESA/NASA Ulysses mission.
Similar advances in our understanding of the heliosphere at solar maximum are to be expected with the return of Ulysses to the Sun's polar regions in 2000/2001. The papers in this volume address a wide range of topics related to the solar-maximum heliosphere, and include many of the latest findings from Ulysses and other space-based missions.
Ground-based studies and theoretical modeling are also well represented. Specific questions include: what are the dominant processes that determine the global structure of the inner heliosphere under conditions of high solar activity, and what are the key differences between the high-latitude heliosphere at solar maximum and solar minimum?
The book is intended for those carrying out active research in the fields of solar and heliospheric physics.
