D-Day is almost here!
The premise is simplicity itself. A select INNER CIRCLE (described at length in the first book) is aware of the impending collision of a wayward comet with earth in five years. The size of the comet is such that the resulting damage will likely eliminate the human race and the story line is the description of the monumental effort to stave off that eventuality with whatever technology is available.
This series can be described as a page-turning genre bender including the best of techno-thrillers, suspense thrillers, sci-fi and even remnants of 1960s cold war thrillers. No avenue for saving the human race is left unexplored - space stations, deep sea habitats, underground bunkers and, of course, diverting the comet from its anticipated collision course with earth. But, in the meantime, the Inner Circle is forced to deal with real world politics, budget considerations, international diplomacy, venal personal and corporate greed and the realities of human psychology in the face of chaos and disaster.
Perhaps this series is so compelling because it seems so inescapably possible. An earth-shattering comet? Why not ... mega-collisions causing mass extinctions with astronomical bodies have certainly happened before! A secret closely held at the highest government levels because those privy to the secret felt that the public would be unable to deal with the consequences of knowledge? Hah ... that's never happened, has it? Presidents squabbling with vice-presidents and Democrats locked in budget debate with Republicans? Unheard of! Misinterpreted diplomatic incidents? Never! Doesn't happen!
Humanity's best solution (described in THE THREE ARKS #4) is to build three separate modern versions of Noah's Ark to escape the coming disaster - a fortified concrete and steel bunker buried deep underneath the Ural Mountains in Russia; a state-of-the-art seacraft designed to outlast the surface devastation by remaining underwater for the duration; and, of course, an enormous space station built as a long-term orbiting habitat that will overlook the destruction of the planet below.
It's interesting to note that EVACUATION EARTH really moves the plot line mere centimeters. But, make no mistake, it's none the weaker for that. EVACUATION EARTH is a charged and moving character and emotion driven story that deals with the world's reaction to the announcement that Armageddon will arrive in under three months and with the devastating difficulty of selecting the populations for the three arks. This decision amounts to nothing less than the gift of life - a decision as to who will survive the comet's impact and who will not.
It's also worth noting that, at long last, Kevin George has removed the final disturbing impediment to credibility in the series. It was getting difficult to maintain the fiction that a comet heading for impact with the earth, having been detected and having its impending collision with earth plotted by a young amateur astronomer ten years earlier, would then evade detection by the entire world's astronomy community, both professional and amateur, until less than three month's prior to its arrival. Since the President of the USA has finally announced the comet's existence to the world, the need for that ridiculous bit of incredulity has been removed (FINALLY!)
That said, I'll highly recommend the series to any reader and express the hope that Kevin George has found it in himself to increase the depth of his character studies in the upcoming installments by also looking at a few more of the positives that are bound to arise in such an emotional set of circumstances.

This book in the series was not the best. It was sort of boring. I figure I have to read it, though, to keep up with the story. Hope the next is better!

I could see this series of books as a tv series. Some of the ideas that Kevin George comes up with to describe what a few powerful people do to try to dontinue the species as a comet hurtles toward earth and an extinction event are well developed. Others not so much. One thing that you have to suspend belief for is the fact that no other astronomer discovers the comet. The other is that the public and Congress allow a huge space station to be built with heavy taxes. And that the truly brilliant people "randomly picked" for the Inaugural Month to celebrate the completion of the space station don't realize that they are all in their twenties and thirties. And how the heck are they supposed to land again? Multiple times? We'll see.
The comet is getting closer.
The comet is getting closer.

Book 5 Continues the Saga Wonderfully
I feel Mr. George is a good writer since he continues to hold my interest in the fate of Earth and his many characters. I just wish he employed an good editor; too many typos, I'm caught wrong words, and mistakes. A good editor would have caught nearly all the mistakes IF they had read the book. I realize I tend to read each and every word, when I read a book, so it is frustrating when I catch silly mistakes -- wrong words used or misspellings -- because they weren't hidden or buried within lengthy sentences. They would have been caught IF the book has been read!

intriguing story
The book is interesting and provides a unique perspective perspective on three alternative methods to try and survive. It is long and I think the author could HP have combined a very of the later chapters into fewer books. They are not really sequels but a continuation of the same story. One last point… the editing of the book gets worse in the later chapters. Missing or extra words are present giving the impression that the author or his editor got tired due to the length of the book.

Evacuation Earth
Getting selected people onto the Outer space Ark is finally accomplished only to find that a few wanted to return to Earth.
Tyler Ainsworth has his own set of problems when Admiral Matthews shows up with three security guards to lead Tyler's Seacraft Ark.
Hopefully, all these issues will settle out before Comet Clement reaches Earth's atmosphere.
This book series is amazing and full of adventure!

How would the end of the world be handled
A detailed review of the implications and reactions to potential effects of a catastrophic event. This book follows on from earlier novels developing the characters thoughts and actions in a generally realistic manner dealing with contingency planning.

Great series
I like this story a lot and the progression could be a little faster. I also wish there were more likable characters in the book but overall I have really enjoyed reading these books.

Human nature at its best and worse
Multiple characters are added to the main story and the psychodynamics and behavioral patterns of decision making are explored as doomsday approaches. The mini stories are appropriate and entertaining and pushes the reader to get the next book.

Top Notch Science Fiction! Good Science Fiction doesn’t need continuous blood-and-guts warfare!

I just read book 5 and that damned asteroid STILL hasn't reached Earth. Maybe in book 6? I enjoyed this portion of the story, although I hate the plotting going on by the Ex president, and if he is EX, why is he in charge of the space station? anyway, the world is falling apart and poor Naïve Colin is on his way to safety aboard the water arc, when inexplicably he stops to help two people, and I know you wont believe this, but they clobber him over the head and tie him up. He finally gets free and makes it JUST IN THE KNICK OF TIME, part of me wishes they had offed him, surely they can find someone a little smarter to repopulate the world?

Captivating read.
Doomsday books generally are about EMPs or CMEs. This story about a comet is a nice change. Well written (some editorial errors) plot with relatable characters. While this is #5 in the series, it is the first for me. I bought 4 or 5 more to not only finish the series, but to go back and see what I missed. Good prices for the work involved and for the authors imagination. Highly recommend.

ok story
I hear the plea of the author about getting people to try his books and am sympathetic. The story is not bad but typical of the "comet destroys the Earth" it is not imaginative at all. The idea of conspiracies runs rampant and the characters are sort of trite. It is not awful but not great either. It just ends abruptly without a suitable conclusion for even an introductory story and this apparently is not #1!!

I realize authors today are not necessarily backed by publishing giants with their battalians of editors. But, that being said the use of spell check and grammar check on this manuscript would have vastly improved the reading experience, particularly in the final chapter. It is very disappointing when you must easte time untangling sentence structure in order to follow the plot!
May 24, 2016
Other commenters have mentioned that it's not great and not bad. Very true. It's just that I've invested a lot of time into this series that I want to see how it will come out. Unfortunately, there's six more books to go.
September 3, 2014
This long winded filler book can be safely skipped without any undue damage to the excessively long story line. The author should cut this series down to a trilogy.
September 6, 2014
Don't bother with this book unless you want to pay for 9 other books to resolve a run of the mill doomsday saga. Endless chit chat and very little doom.

His books read like a TV series.

Didn't finish, plot too plodding, writing too shoddy
