Solara is not a ghost, but she is haunted by the light of a dead world. After escaping the blue giant star of Xylar-9, she crashes into the Mojave Desert, only to discover that Earth's yellow sun is far more than a source of warmth-it is a volatile fuel. On this planet, she is a living battery, her skin tracing lines of molten gold as she absorbs radiation faster than her body can process. While the desert locals see a fallen star, the government sees a weapon of mass destruction.
Director Aris Thorne-Pryce and his thermal-hunting mercenaries are closing in, desperate to cage the energy Solara can barely contain. Her only ally is Marcus, a weary mechanic with a hidden past, who knows that a weapon never gets to choose where it lands. As her thermal bloom intensifies, Solara must master the fire in her veins or risk an atmospheric collapse that will incinerate her new home. From the rusted iron canyons of the badlands to the brink of a cosmic first contact, The Sun Walker is an explosive journey about the burden of power and the courage to remain human in the face of divinity.
Every sunrise brings her closer to critical mass. Every touch is a risk. And the world she wants to save is the one she was destined to consume.
