Wolfbane

Wolfbane is a science fiction novel by Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth. Appallingly, the Earth and the Moon had beenkidnapped from the Solar System—but who werethe kidnappers and what ransom did they want? This science fiction novel takes place in the year 2203. A rogue planet, populated by strange machines known as Pyramids, has stolen the Earth from the Solar system, taking it off into interstellar space. The moon has been 'ignited' by alien technology to serve as a miniature sun around which both planets orbit. This new sun is rekindled every 5 years, though as the book opens, the rekindling is nearly overdue and there is fear among the populace that it may never happen again.
