Resumen del Editor

A mysterious object threatens to destroy our solar system. The survival of humankind is at risk, but nobody takes the warning of young astrophysicist Maribel Pedreira seriously. At the same time, an exiled crew of outcasts mines for rare minerals on a lone asteroid.

When other scientists finally acknowledge Pedreira's alarming discovery, it becomes clear that these outcasts are the only ones who may be able to save our world, knowing that the Hole hurtles inexorably toward the sun.

overall great read!

great story and only one thing upset me which was his view on political progressives. painting them out to be terrorists is extremely wrong, unless you love dictators and fascism...

Great entertainment

Fantastic plot, great characters development the and very nice performance. I had many hours of entertainment.

Not his best work

As usual for Morris, the science parts are fantastic, with the fiction less polished. In this case however, the plot lines and dialogue are truly ludicrous. I'm a huge fan of many of his other books, but the dialogue and plot are so poorly executed that I laughed out loud many times while slogging to get through this one. He also seems to have forgotten how to form contractions? It's always "you are, it is, cannot," and it just makes the dialogue sound like some bizarre postmodern Shakespearean prose.
all that said, if you are better at overlooking things like that, and totally nonsensical plot points about interpersonal relationships, and you enjoy his other work, give it a shot.

I really wanted to like it

This isn’t hard sci-fi. It has more of a YA feel to me. When I think of hard sci-fi I like to go full nerd on it this wasn’t it for me. It’s a bit of a light weight.

Really enjoyed this one

very interesting story with real science. always a favorite of mine. the writing can be a little lifeless at times, especially the interpersonal exchanges. I will be definitely be checking out more from Brandon q morris.

a great journey in strength courage and humanity

i don’t know is alexa is going to like it, but i loved it! thank you

Clear and full of REAL Science

Just about all of the “Science Fiction” stories now a days are more Fantasy then Science. But not books written by Brandon Q. Morris.
Mr. Morris shows us that it is still possible to learn about REAL Science and then pass that knowledge along in an easy to understand and entertaining fashion. Combine that with the GREAT auditory skills of Daniel Tomas May and you have a FANTASTIC REAL Science Fiction book.

Well above average sci-fi

Good science, futurism somewhat lacking, a female protagonist, but character development is weak. Male characters better developed. It’s the first time I understood living in a simulation.

very much enjoyed

should have a higher rating then it does. it's a simple story but unique

Characters are charicatures

Every character has an backstory so unbelievable it pulls you out. Sometimes characters acted stupid (person leading effort to save everyone on earth starts crying because someone she met for a day a month before died. Later dozens of people she knew die, but not a hint of remorse. I guess to summarize - the characters are not at all believable, are sometimes idiots, and so it makes it hard to connect or care.
