The Cloud Elmore Hammes

A story of hope, love and redemption set against the stars. An unstoppable cloud hurtles through the cosmos, annihilating all life in its path, absorbing the energy of living creatures as it passes from system to system. A lone survivor of an advanced civilization is rocketed from his doomed planet in an attempt to preserve a race, heading toward the solar system and the green-blue orb called Earth. A simple farm girl holds the key to defeating the approaching menace, but she must find her way to love in order to do so. With a beginning inspired by Superman and pulp fiction such as Flash Gordon, the story then transitions into modern space opera. The Cloud is a science fiction romance with action and adventure, appropriate for teenage readers and above.
