Sunstorm is a 2005 science fiction novel co-written by British writers Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.

In the meantime, a major solar event occurs on 9 June, disrupting virtually all of the Earth's electronic hardware.

Scientific models of the projected 2042 event make clear that the Earth will be sterilised completely by the upcoming solar burst.

Rather than sit by and allow the sun to just destroy all of Earth's life, political leaders (most notably the President of the Eurasian Union, Miriam Grec), and scientific leaders (led by Siobhan McGorran, the Astronomer Royal) decide to embark upon an ambitious plan to literally shield Earth from the worst effects of the storm.

Just as in Time's Eye, Baxter and Clarke pay small homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey with lines lifted from the earlier book.
