Solar Storm
by Gerald M Kilby

Series background & context
Moon Base Delta is set in a future where the Moon is no longer a remote target but a busy landscape of bases, refineries, and research stations. Governments and corporations are hurriedly negotiating a New Lunar Accord to keep the peace as more players arrive and the competition for resources intensifies.
In Solar Storm that fragile order shatters when a powerful solar event batters Earth's satellite constellations and creates a spreading cloud of orbital debris. Suddenly the routes home become unsafe, flights are cancelled, and thousands of people find themselves effectively marooned off planet, with only the supplies already in place.
Among them is Renton Hicks, an engineer who quickly discovers that the romance of working in space looks very different when every new systems glitch might mean death. The first book follows colonists and crew as they scramble to stabilise failing infrastructure, decide who gets a seat on the last ships down, and confront the real possibility that the Moon is now their permanent home.
Resource Control picks up as an abandoned facility, Moon Base Delta, is brought back online as a refuge. Food shortages, overworked life support, and the arrival of desperate refugees and rebels from across the lunar colonies turn the base into a volatile mix of cultures and agendas. Renton and his team have to balance compassion with cold arithmetic while deciding who gets what, and how long they can hold out.
In Power Vacuum the crisis becomes a siege. The Xilinex Corporation imposes a tight blockade around Moon Base Delta, choking off trade and leaving the colonists to starve unless they submit. When a Martian evacuation ship appears carrying advanced genetic technology that might solve their problems, the base leaders weigh a risky alliance with remnants of the old SINO power bloc against the chance of provoking an even wider war.
Across the trilogy, Moon Base Delta keeps circling back to one simple idea: in space, survival comes first, but survival at any cost might not be worth having. The books are full of practical details about habitats, power systems, and supply chains, yet they always come back to the people in the corridors, making impossible choices about who to save and what kind of society they want to build on the lunar frontier.
