Scorched: Book Two: Revival

Orrcen Forge is a man in danger. His understanding of faster-than-light travel makes him the single most important person on the Earth and the homeworld's last great opportunity to be reunited with its far-flung colonies out beyond the edge of the terrible storm which engulfs the solar system. Rescued from the zealous soldiers of the Ghost - a global organisation dedicated to preserving the planet's isolation, for better or for worse - Forge must now face the darkness of the Catacombs, the growing threat of the Lockarth menace, and the sinister machinations of the entities of the Power.
