Primordial Star is a 2009 book by Dwardu Cardona, part of his multi-volume reconstruction of the early history of the Solar System.
Overview
Cardona argues that a single unifying theme — a radically different early configuration of the Solar System — can resolve a cluster of long-standing puzzles about the formation of planets, the evolution of life, the extinction of the dinosaurs, and the onset of ice ages. Central to the work is the claim that the Earth was originally not a companion of the Sun but was "adopted" from another system, and that the Sun (or the proto-Saturn body) once appeared as a "primordial star" quite unlike today's Sun. The book belongs to the Saturn theory tradition of catastrophist cosmology associated with the Thunderbolts / Electric Universe group.
