Extinction Event: Surviving Doomsday
Approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday May 26th, 2030 an amateur fifteen-year-old stargazer peering into the night sky from the comfort of his Cincinnati suburban backyard discovered what appeared to be an untracked comet. He confirmed his findings with his science teacher who called it in to make it official. However, little did the crude astronomer realize, what he discovered was actually a space mountain bigger than Mount Everest, traveling nearly two hundred times the speed of sound—and headed straight for earth. Anyone within a thousand-mile radius of the impact zone would have absolutely no chance of surviving such an event, for they would be completely incinerated. The world would be thrown into a six-month darkness. The air would be toxic, and the soil would be poisonous for anything that tries to grow. In all—the earth would bleed out.
With the advancement of modern technology, countries possess nuclear warheads that would make Hiroshima look like a hand grenades. And with this type of power, the world would have somewhat of a chance at surviving without a single scar to show. However, there is a man hidden within the shadows of the government—a bedlamite, and he will do everything it takes to make certain that space behemoth strikes the very land he and 8.5 billion others call home, thus bringing his dream of a one-man world leader to reality. This illogical madman is not only backed by a handful of military scientists, but also by some of America’s most vicious military soldiers and CIA agents—all turned mercenaries. They are hidden safely within a newly constructed super world deep in the Colorado Mountains.
This man will see to it that all mentioning of this looming danger is cut off from every country in the world—including the United States of America. And to add to this act of lunacy, all who know about this potential species killer high above the earth, including the fifteen-year-old who discovered it, are silenced—killed to keep it a secret.
Isaiah Peace is the sole discoverer of a space juggernaut that will be responsible for wiping out greater than three-quarters of all earth’s species—sending the world as we know it back into a Stone Age. Those few who are cursed to survive within this dying world will realize that ordinary people are deadlier than the hammer of God that was sent to wipe them all out.
This is a story—of an extinction event.

About the author
K.B. Knight
9 books13 followersWriting allows me to escape reality and enter an alternate one created solely by my demented mind.
I first started writing in the eighth grade when I competed in Young Authors Future Success, fulfilling my teacher's wishes.
I was inspired to write after reading Stephen King's "Misery" (the first book I ever read) shortly before competing in Young Authors. I thank my teacher, Ms. Klodell, for finding something in me that I had no idea was there.
I took a break from writing when I started learning martial arts. I resumed it a few years back while working with one of my many customers. She told me she was an author, and we had a long talk...my writing was born again.
My career is in banking (15years) and I usually spend my nights after work writing and cooking.
I have a bright seventeen-year-old son who will one day grow up to be a better writer than his old man...maybe.
Other than writing, fishing is my favorite way to leave all of life's problems and stress behind, even if it is just for a moment.
My favorite authors are: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and R.L. Stine.

Wow...I knew I was in trouble when I saw "A Novella Book 1" on the cover of this book. I know this author well enough to know that he likes to end books that leave me wanting the next one asap. Starting this book I thought the comet would be the thing to fear but of course, mankind shows his ugly side once again. Hagan was a scary mofo that I hope to never run into. If so I hope it's with my car and at full speed. I don't want him getting back up.
The characters were easy to like or hate. Let me rephrase that Hagan was easy to hate while everyone else was easy to like. Especially, Brooklyn, that girl was awesome. That foul mouth will definitely get her into trouble. I liked seeing how much Isiah changed. He was the shy stuttering boy in the beginning to the guy that risks his life to try to save mankind.
I can't wait for the next book! Hurry up K.B. Knight!
