This seemed to go on forever. Full of American arrogance - apparently, no other world government is capable of keeping a secret from the public - and their saving of “humanity” (Americans).
And honestly, at the end of these books we’re just three months off impact and NO ONE, not one astronomer, professional or amateur, anywhere in the world, has spotted a fecking great comet heading our way? Really? Yeah, right....
There’s no consideration given to the mental health impact that would be placed on sending one, lone person on a four year, no return mission to deflect the comet; he’s just expected “not to let anyone down” - never mind that he’s effectively in solitary for four years, no one to talk to, nothing to really do, nowhere to go, knowing he’ll never see Earth again.
And the space station - it seems no one thought of making it spin to give the effect of gravity and therefore help everyone’s health. How long do they plan to be up there? What plans are in place for babies to be born, if they’re planning of being there for years? Have they saved any farmers for when they return to Earth? If not, who’s going to grow crops, the scientists?? (This all applies to the boat, too.)
It kept me just interested enough to finish it, but I don’t think I’ll be bothering with the rest, tbh. Just thankful this was free and I didn’t waste money on it!
