Publisher's summary

The year is 2066, and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces.

The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program. He's been rushing the completion of DefenseNet, a ring of satellites that are both part of an early-warning system, as well as the means to eliminate incoming threats.

Yet Burt knows that despite the world's best efforts, nothing can be done about the alert he's just received. Coming out of deep space is a danger that's been approaching since the dawn of time. A black hole. An unstoppable threat that promises death for all in its wake.

Dave Holmes was a modern-day Einstein. As the original architect of DefenseNet, he'd had visions of this Primordial Threat before he disappeared, yet he'd left behind no details on how the problem might be solved. Can Holmes be found, and if so, will his solution even work?

The world has less than a year to find out.

Fantastic read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The science was interesting, I think some of the terror attackes were over done. The lead characters were well rounded people of interest. The thought of moving the Earth to a new sun is mind boggling. It's a good, fun, romp. Enjoy this book too

astounding

This is book is simply wonderful. I was entirely captivated by it throughout! I've loved all of M. A. Rothman's books, but this one grabbed me more than any of the others I've read so far

I hated the ending

Overall I like the book. I wouldn't say I liked the ending because it was cheesy and weak. It was like the author forgot he had to finish the story and pumped out something quick and easy.
My major complaints are: What was the point of Bella? The cop? THE CULT?!! I was excited about all of their introductions. They all had potential, and then.....nothing.

Atrocious British accent is difficult to listen to

The narrator's attempt at a female British accent is horrible and just as I get into the story it appears and I am instantly jolted out of the story.... repeatedly. I will read the book instead because the story is good so far.

great story

very well written story with a cast of likeable characters. Narration also exceeded expectations. normally I cringe when a man tries to do a female voice... much less one with a foreign accent. the male and female voice were all distinct, appropriate, and didn't break the immersion in the story.

Wow ... what an amazing suprise.

OMG, I have not read or listened to this author before and had no real expectations. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this. I have just finished listening to it and cannot wait to listen to the sequel. What a beautiful setup for a sequel. Yup, loved it. I hope it is made into a movie it would be a great one.

Kept my interest

Just enough suspense to keep me listening, but not so thrilling that I had to worry about my driving
