Sonica: Wind of the Sun by Alex Smoke

While we are accustomed to notions of planetary disaster as a gradual accumulation of factors such as rising temperatures and melting ice, in his new work Alex Smoke thinks bigger, picturing the most colossal powers in creation: vast, implacable, and with the potential to wipe out life in a single devastating stroke. Wind of the Sun is the sound of worlds literally colliding, a pummelling rush of noise and sensation that peels the hair from our scalp and leaves us feeling lucky to be alive.
