From the publisher blurb:
They are the biggest, most devastating, explosions in the universe: Lasting for months, unleashing more energy and radiation than an entire galaxy, supernova have shaped galactic history (and, in some regions, effectively ended it). If your characters find themselves threatened by one you'll need to know: How far do they have to run? Is there anywhere they can hide? And is there any technology, anywhere in the galaxy, that might protect them?
Using a series of simple, flexible look-up tables, this book sets out the range, lethality, and timing of a supernova's effects - as well as detailed notes on the visuals and experiances that accompany them, their millenia long aftermath, and countermeasures for endangered spacecraft and planets. Putting storytelling ahead of technical detail, but with plenty of in-depth material for those wanting to do a deeper dive, this second installment in the Hard SF Worldbuilding Cookbooks series covers:
