Countdown To Oblivion
Oblivion in: 157 days, 15 hours, 32 minutes, and 53 seconds... But who’s counting?
Vesta, an asteroid of mammoth proportions, is on a collision course with Earth. An unavoidable annihilation countdown permeates pre-apocalyptic life. For Rain, a 16-year-old girl in coastal Maine, the end couldn’t be coming at a worse time.
And then the Internet goes dark...
And the electric grid collapses...
And people across the globe trade civility for shared, terrified anarchy...
With our destruction a foregone conclusion, society devolves into feral madness.
As if this isn’t enough to reckon with, Rain’s about to uncover yet another inconceivable bit of information:
She might be descended from aliens.
Rain takes refuge with Ang, a lifelong friend and able-bodied ally. But might he be harboring secrets of his own?
Until humanity meets the same fate as the dinosaurs, the countdown will continue, clocking away our very existence.

Shaka Bry

A most righteous dad by day and night, he writes by proverbial candlelight in the wee strange hours of morning. Not really, but it sounded cool.
His stories, influenced by phantasmagorical classics such as Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, often steer off-course, alighting on the wings of the fantastical.
When not writing or Dadding, Bryon dreams of sleeping sheep.
In the summers (and all seasons) he can be found on the sunny beaches at the Jersey shore, where he lives with his loving family and 26 cats.

A fun sci-fi, slightly dystopian story. Maybe a little rushed but very enjoyable. i.e. I feel like there should have been an explanation as to why the characters are walking miles to a destination rather than driving. It didn’t make sense to me for the world to be that far gone. Maybe it was so they were harder to spot. There were some typos and errors but I was reading an ARC copy so hopefully those were all fixed.

My expectations may have been high. I know this is a YA story.
The two main characters were solid, but I felt like a lot of time the storyline was disjointed.
