2026: Extinction Level Event

by Matteo Gravina

Camila, an unassuming university student, decides one day to send a letter to the United Nations. To her amazement, they invited her to take part in a United Nations program for promising young scientist. With months to prepare for the United Nations conference, she stumbles into quite the information for her research paper. Quickly, she formulates some theories that will collide with the establishment. According to her dominant theory, the world is heading for a runaway melting of the Cryosphere by the year 2026. With the establishment predicting somewhere in the not-too-distant future the gradual melting of critical category glaciers, her theories suddenly become prophetic, and prove the establishment wrong. Solar Cycle-25 at its climax, along with Carbon Dioxide on Earth with an average level of over 430 ppm, quickly speeds up away to a point of no return. Three families around the world with distinct backgrounds are whisked away from their normal routines into the Anthropocene Era.

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Please bear with me as I explain my rating of this book. Author Gravina deserves a five star rating for the premise of the story as well as the large amount of scientific knowledge displayed in the text. His level of knowledge is informative and striking. For me, however, grammatical errors were distracting and unfortunately lower the rating. All in all, however, this book is worth working through and I would recommend it.

My thanks to the author, Matteo Gravina, for my electronic copy of this work. #Goodreads Giveaway

More technical than expected

I was expecting a book written more from the personal viewpoint of the families. Instead this book describes in detail the effects upon different areas of the world from a scientific standpoint. Definitely not a light read but an interesting theory of a possible outcome of the use of fossil fuels. While small parts mention the outcome of the families, most of the book describes the outcome of the migration of world populations. Still good, just not what I expected.

I obtained this book as a Goodreads giveaway winner. The book is more informative than anything. It had the potential to be very exciting, with a different writing style; because who doesn't love a good apocalyptic novel?! Thank you to the author and publisher for my copy of this book, it's just not my genre taste.
